Comment (by mikeperry):

 I think we can provide an alternate theme as an option, but there is the
 question of what the default should be, and at what point we should ask
 the user which they prefer. I would like to avoid asking many questions of
 the user in the default case, and I am not yet convinced that the default
 should be a drastically different theme than normal Firefox.

 There is also a difference between the homepage telling the user that they
 are using Tor (which is temporary, and which they can close or navigate
 away from, or otherwise not always have visible), and making the default
 always be obvious from a distance at all times.

 Suggestions for possible solutions here is welcome. I bet there is a
 solution that can make everyone happy (especially since we have people
 willing to put the work into providing it for us), but we need to be a
 little careful in what form that solution takes, and how and when we
 present this choice to the user.
