Yes. I suggest that *default* theme being kid-friendly and cheerful and use
the official KDE palette. Then alternative themes can be made in the style
of a dark, dystopian sci-fi movie with angry robots. :)

Sure. I just meant the graphics as inspiration regarding the light, 
cheerful and colourful style. An actual theme may well use completely
different design elements. (I think a theme similar to the icy theme 
in mrboom may suit Tux well, though.)

Yeah. But do have a sensible, simple default. I hate games that makes me go
through several options screens to set all possible options before starting
the actual gamepaly. I like a nice ‘Start game‘ button with good defaults.
