I see the comments Julian - but I have some expertize in design so I can recognize values on that kind of things - so if someone wrote something -> must be true ..hmm, ...just because ???.
for example if I remember well WE agreed on the past to not consider comments like : " That theme is a show stopper. Eww.." OR "Yeah. That theme makes me want to puke... I won't even give Ubuntu 8.10 a try if it ships with that crap as a default theme." OR "We thought you were "Cuckoo for Coco Puffs" not "Horny for Linux" OR "Jumping Jackrabbits!" Is someone has something to say ..arguments please, ... else millions of other forums wait out somewhere. On other hands, Ibex internal GUI team make not just big - but a huge mistake - all that peoples who think that a dark theme will succeed for a distro who wants to touch the mainstream - public institutions, enterprises and in general a large scale public - they just wrong. I like the theme, it's ok - but my professional opinion vote down. Sorry. I dream for an ..."every people" Ubuntu. On his most generously shape. This theme is perfect suitable for artists or for Gnome fans with some free time. To have a dark theme ( being the theme about we talk one other one, is unproductive - think about to peoples which work with forms everyday... U see, I not agree with a dark default theme too - because I am from the Design / GUI design area ( I got my money doing that ) but I make the difference - I know such kind of themes will not become too popular for the masses - but particularly I like the theme ( for me ), except the dark scrollbars and the pressed gnome buttons that are not very clear defined, so I give just an advice to author. Back to the the living beans planet, in forums I like explain my points of view and to stay away from my primary impulses ( thousands years of civilization should let some fingertips over peoples no ? ) so - I'll never say something like " this theme suck ...", because it's not my level. On short: 1. I vote down for this theme. Sorry. 2. I'll use this theme on my free time doing artworks, because I like it. I think I'll change the scrollbar color before ;) 2008/7/1 Julian Oliver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > ..on or around Tue, Jul 01, 2008 at 03:27:16PM +0300 SorinN wrote: >> regarding: >> > See the complaints?
