I can confirm this is still an issue using today's daily build of Oneiric, however this issue is still not with Ubuntu rather it is with a GNOME tool.
Steps I took beforehand: I downloaded the current daily build of oneiric-desktop-amd64. Installed Oneiric on a new virtual machine in VirtualBox. Updated it fully. Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to /usr/share/themes/ and copy a theme folder to a name with an ampersand (I used Radiance which I named Ray&Dance). 2. Open the .desktop file (Radiance.desktop in my case) and edit all the occurrences of the name to include the ampersand. 3. Install gnome-tweak-tool (sudo apt-get gnome-tweak-tool). 4. Select "Theme" from the listbox. 5. Click the dropdown menu for either "Window theme" or "GTK+ theme". 6. Notice there is a duplicate of another theme in the list rather than your new theme. So, rather than being a bug in Oneiric where the themes I created in /usr/share/themes/ would not even show up in the Appearance menu (like a lot of the other themes that come with GNOME 3 by default); this is a bug in the gnome-tweak-tool which - I believe - doesn't even come with Oneiric at the moment. Also it is worth noting again that I am using a daily build - which is quite buggy. However, due to the fact that the bug acts just like before and that the bug exists in a GNOME tool rather than in Ubuntu I do not believe a bug in the daily build to be the cause. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527014 Title: Themes with ampersands do not show up in appearance preferences To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/527014/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
