I agree with Andrea. The latest SVG files (from 2009) all mention <cc:license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/"; /> so I think we can use them again. As for having "something nicer" that would require a voluntary designer to create a new Public Domain theme... What Matthias and myself are considering is hacking an existing theme to solve the Dark Theme issue.
