In my opinion, industrial is more professional, but smooth has a more 3d
look. But more importantly asking to start the discussion again risks a
huge thread about everyone's personal preferences.

Therefore I suggest that someone with at least moderate competence with
theming be nominated to choose one based on practical considerations,
not "I like X, just because".

I nominate Jeff because he had the audacity to put his name on the theme
in the first thread, and he generally has nothing better to do 'round
here. ;)
