Andrew, Here is my recommendation. Ambiance Refined - William Middleton The wiki page is missing alot of detail although there is a reference to Ubuntu-Art and it is rated at 72% good. If William can update the wiki as to why a user may want to consider this theme I'm Ok with this submission - otherwise no. Ambiance Blue - Paolo Bianchini Seems more like a concept than a submission - no. Ambiancell - luxierayku Again the wiki page is lacking informaton a user might use when considering this theme - no. Finery - Immanuel Peratoner Ok Depends on equinox engine. Don't know if that is in the Ubuntu repository? :| Impression/Night-Impression Themes - ;) Ok Perfection GTK - luxierayku Ok Radial - tw Ok Salmon - yman Ok Simply Basic - William Middleton Looks like an interesting theme but there is no wiki content to support it - no. I pinged a couple of folks on devianART Ubuntu Artist about themes but did not receive a reply. pr09studio had several. As there was a lot process change this release some folks may have been confused and the discussion on the Ayatana thread may have added to the confusion. I suggest we go with the six themes and take an action item to discuss what make the most sense for Natty.
