Public bug reported: This is obviously a wish report, not a bug report per se.
Since Ubuntu Oneiric, gnome-shell can easily be installed and it works pretty well, coexisting peacefully with Unity. With this option easily available, a significant number of Ubuntu users may prefer using gnome- shell instead of Unity, for whatever reasons. That's why I think some efforts should be put to better integrate gnome-shell within the regular Ubuntu design/theming framework. IMHO, what is missing right now is some slight adjustments, like these ones: - Using Ubuntu font, instead of Canterella - Using Ubuntu orange color for on/off buttons, instead of blue Many (if not all) of these adjustments could be done quite easily (I did it myself) with just a line modification in /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme /gnome-shell.css or by adjusting color in files within the directory /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme On the other hand, I don't think that we need a complete and specific Ambiance or Radiance gnome-shell theme (like this one: http://half- left.deviantart.com/art/GNOME-Shell-Ubuntu-Ambience-210264151) . I think (I may be wrong) that the vast majority of users will prefer to experience the real gnome-shell experience, with just some bits of Ubuntu integration. So, in short, my wish is that gnome-shell receives some Ubuntu love! We don't have to create a "Gubuntu" derived distro for this (or a fork, like UGR: http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/) , we just have to make sure that some integration work is done at the gnome-shell packaging stage. (I guess that to support this work, the Ubuntu/gnome-shell community could unite around the Ubuntu GNOME3 team? See: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team) Thanks. ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: design theme wish -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882022 Title: Gnome-shell needs some Ubuntu design/theming integration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/882022/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
