Actually, there are four variants to select from, but if that's the case then the selector shouldn't be titled "Theme" it should be titled "Variants of the Default Theme (but there are No Other Themes)" After all, there is no "full features theme selector."
Even so, it still takes about 8 seconds after selecting a Variant for there to be any feedback as to what is changed (not even a wait cursor), and the text names are undescriptive, so I would reinstate and reiterate my original comment, that this mechanism is clumsy without a GRAPHICAL preview. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/990169 Title: systemsettings->appearance no longer previews the themes Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: This is in 12.04 Precise Pangolin. The System Settings->Appearance page allows one to select a "Theme," but there is no longer any clue available as to what these themes look like. There used to be some kind of picture associated with each theme, that at least gave the poor user some idea what each theme setting did. I guess now you have to try them out, one by one, but that's very clumsy.
