Here are the use cases/requirements for whatever default theme Plone
should have from my perspective, in order of priority:

1. Look good when people try out/demo Plone. This includes being
reasonably lightweight and support mobile devices.

2. Be clear and easy to use for those who do not want to change the
theme, or when you don't want to map in the edit bar with Diazo.

3. Generate HTML that is easy to map into a theme with Diazo.

4. Have a customizable logo.

5. And preferably easily customizable colors.

Until plone.app.toolbar becomes stable:

6. Be able to map into Diazo *with editing support* without driving you insane.


I think Sunburst did well on everything except 5 and 6. A new theme
that has even better mobile support and does better at 5 and 6 would
be awesome. I don't think that the requirement that it should be easy
to customize and change the CSS is relevant any longer. It was for
Sunburst, but now we have Diazo. If you don't like the default theme,
then don't use it.
