Well, it seems logical, but why not implemented yet?

Not Winter in the US yet?

It is Fall/Autumn. I don't think playing with water balloons is appropriate anymore.

Is too. Water balloons are ALWAYS appropriate.

Winter Scape has always been a theme. Spring Scape replaced it in April this year. Both are referred to as "Seasonal Scape" in the UI but their filenames tell otherwise. Fall Scape is new though but doesn't seem to have an associated XML file... yet.

(I mentioned a while back that Google must've forgotten all about summer as they never released a "Summer Scape" theme.)

They forgot about fall/autumn as well, but it's not too late to add it.

I just thought about this,
Don't you think having both Seasonal Scape and the Autumn theme on the same list is quite ridicules ?

(Or Autumn isn't considered a season? :P)

Agreed. They should probably have all the seasons listed or one seasonal scape which changes with the seasons. The problem with that is that seasons are different all over the world. For example, it snows at different times of year depending on where you are, so the Winter Scape would be completely out of sync for some regions...

Yes. If they're not going to update Seasonal Scape, they should change its name to Summer (or Spring) Scape, Autumm to Autumm Scape and reenable Winter Scape.
