Good timing! I just started a thread on the ubuntu-marketing mailing list with this very thought. The artwork in the development version should be much more blatantly "in development", with warning messages printed on them to make it clear. Those update info popups could also be used more for testing purposes; in our case, pointing out that a theme is one of many candidates and that bug reports should be filed at launchpad.net (particularly in the case of dark ones!) > > NOW, for my question. :) > > If the dark theme is an experiment, what is the fallback? Is it > "unity"? Something else entirely? I think New Wave is an excellent fallback. For some reason it is being classified by some as a "dark theme", but I don't think it is. It has darkly coloured highlights (in the example), and those highlights are spread out much more than usual. Quite interesting to look at, really... Bye, -Dylan
