Clearly there are many people (including me) who don't like the new
title bar layout, and the loss of the application's icon from the title
bar - so as a minimum there should be a GUI way to easily revert to the
older layout, and this should be the default when choosing a different
theme.  Existing themes such as Human and many others were designed
around the old layout, so why is the new layout imposed on them?

Also, this will really not help at all with maximising the ease of
transition for Windows users (bug 1) - they can adapt to the system
menus being on the top of the screen, but this will just be another
roadblock in adopting Ubuntu.

Another problem with the Light theme is the highlighted area just below
middle of the top panel - this draws the eye to that part of the screen
for no purpose.  Normally such highlights are used in web and UI design
to draw the eye to the most important part of the screen, but here it's
just used for no reason I can see.

Instead of imposing this annoying change, how about fixing a real issue
that is causing accessibility and usability problems to users today -
the fact that on large screens (or any screen for someone with
visual/motor disabilities) it's very hard to resize a window using most
Ubuntu themes:
