The product's public image is important. Its part of the Centos
experience. "Pleasant" items should be retained not indifferently
discarded (because some adore Windoze).

The CentOS theme looks just like the RHEL theme since there was only a 7
and not any trademark reasons to change that theme.

The goal of CentOS is to change the minimum amount of source code
possible ... so we didn't change it.  We did get the logo working on the
login screen with the latest updates.

If someone *WANTS* to figure out how to change the theme using the
git.centos.org source code, and if they recommend the changes via
patches using the git am format on the CentOS Devel mailing list, we
will certainly discuss those possible changes.

Remember, we have only 3 people doing CentOS Linux distro related things
.. and of the 3, only 1 (me) is full time maintaining of distro
packages.  The other 2 are concentrating on Docker/Container/Cloud.

It isn't like we have a hundred (or even a dozen) engineers working on
CentOS.

Apologies. I forgot. Centos is the same as Red Hat minus the product
branding. If a display is crap in Red Hat, then the Red Hat crap will
manifest itself in Centos, minus the Red Hat branding.

If I wasn't already swamped with tasks I would offer to help.  I
appreciate all your dedicated hard work.
