The default theme works with very poor color capability, while most fluxbox themes are unusable at 8 bit color.  The high contrast and low color spectrum and low footprint are why I chose it as default.  Plus, the dark colors are easy on the eyes,

There are a lot of themes to chose from, I like Zetygray, Lawn, and AlfredHacked.

I agree, the default theme works well for low color depth configurations and not all users can boot in 16bit color or higher.

I use "Cthulhain" (sp?) theme myself. It adds an understated 3D style that looks nice without harsh colors or unreadable text in the user menu.

the default theme is ok. it's easy to change it and maybe it is possibile to fix one's favourite theme changing some script of back up..in order that once you "restore" you directly boot in your favourite theme..
the deafult theme in my opinion should always focus on low-end computers
