Well the windows buttons would have to go, and the colors would have to be
different. Ken and I discussed, along with in put from Shuttleworth, having
a lighter theme and a darker theme. Mark wants to retain most o the colors
from the current Human for the lighter theme...
Keep on working though.
Hi everyone, my first post here :)
I think this is definitely the kind of colors that would suit the ubuntu
desktop.
Have you looked at Kith Intrepid?

It is in the same tones but looks more polished and modern; nothing has

If we go orange again, I think that Kith Intrepid is probably the best one
out there. The only trouble is that it might be a bit loud for some people.
I personally love it, and have been using a setup very close to it on my own
computer. If something like this could be coded in such a way as to

Hey, list. I'm new, and chiming in for the first time here because,

Alphas should absolutely be a place for playing around with ideas,

Have you actually used the theme? Your initial disgust at the colour scheme
may subside if you actually used it and saw it in action, I know I love the

If the colour scheme isn't for you there will doubtless be many rehashes of

I've added kwii's repo and installed the themes. They are faster than
the older human theme. The black theme is OK for me altought it needs
work(is an alpha afterall) i.e. in firefox.
The white theme is also great and the window decoration (the thin brown
bar is a nice idea too).

I don't mind the dark theme not that I've been using it for a while. But
there are issues with things like Compiz Config Settings, where the app uses
blue text, and it is mostly unreadable against the dark background. I don't
know why it uses this blue in some places and not others.

OK so I vote to use the Liberation fonts at least no matter what theme, and
improve the icons significantly no matter what theme. Also, I think we
should maybe have some sort of voting system and a better way to get the
opinions of the Ubuntu Community in general.
Who votes for Liberation fonts?

This can't happen as the license doesn't pass the Debian free software
guidelines test. Last I saw anyway. DejaVu would work also. Ubuntu
