Subject: [ubuntu-art] // wider opinion of Dust theme from Ubuntu users //
i thought it's perhaps worth drawing attention to the 'public'
appreciation of the Dust theme mockups:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12479/
http://www.lunduke.com/?p=116
both of the above URL's had around 1.5k diggs and no less than 200 comments.
there is some worthy criticism/commentary in those threads. clearly Dust
is a direction worth following.
the first mockup didn't grab me all that much but this is certainly
going places, save perhaps the folder icons themselves (which look a
little stale, IMO. maybe it's that the grey in the 'dusty' window BG is
pulling in the grey from the folders too much, flattening them out):

cheers!

HOLY CRAP.
I LOVE that background. It's amazing. I hadn't seen that yet. :D
Honestly, I love the folders/nautilus bg in that too, but it's prolly a bit too
vintage-y for most people, so I agree we'd wanna go with something little
brighter.
