Public bug reported: 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.
