The Ubutnu is a popular distribution, and the choice of their standard theme should be made by all by voting. And not by a small group. The community can elect the theme through the Ubuntu Brainstorm.


For the choice of a new theme that is the satisfaction of the majority that idea is essential.

---------------------
Edited:
Initially thank you all. This idea may help it to developers in the choice, and can have an extra theme.

Can serve as a basis for changes in the theme chosen by the team of Ubuntu, even if the popular themes are not adopted.

This idea will help.

Perhaps the top couple of themes with the highest overall votes could then be included in Intrepid!

+1 (would give more if I could)]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:10:38 +0000 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:52:54 +0000 but it dosen't need all the features of UB.
It dosen't need tags.
For related it needs only GNOME, XFCE and KDE.
And this should be new category.
Or alternately this may be a part of look and feel.
Anyway this is really good idea.
(makes me wonder why can't I come up with such ideas)

awesome mockup

this is a great idea

usually just 2 o 3 people choose for the entire community... :(]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 21:19:28 +0000 Best idea I've seen today.]]> Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:27:40 +0000 Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:12:37 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:29:11 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 05:42:08 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:14:48 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:41:56 +0000 It is a way to most democratic OS.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 06:54:35 +0000 I think "Ubuntu" is trying to make the installation as easy as possible - and that means only the essential options. Distro's like OpenSUSE would give you all the choices you want.

lunamystry -> I like having a small group or just Mark, do the final decision as I feel that he/they are very competent in doing so.

Magnes -> Witch is why Mark or the team should, with the votes of the community in mind, make the final decision.

_alex_ -> Great idea to include the top themes with the highest overall votes in Intrepid!

I know a lot of hard work is being done on a new theme manager and hopefully it will be ready for the 8.10 release.

But, I'd like it if the highest voted theme was included in the distribution CD.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:10:15 +0000
But why not both? Let the default theme be chosen by the small group, and have the 'community choice' as an easy to install alternative, clearly marked as such.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 13:52:40 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 14:17:50 +0000
Just go to gnome-look.org and sort by "highest rated", and you'll see why. Nevermind that it's too easy to skew the results.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:03:19 +0000
"Would you like the default Ubuntu Theme or the Community Favorite?"

And then give pics of both. It would just need to pop up upon first startup.]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 15:13:51 +0000 although i like the idea but it adds more clutter to brainstorm.but nice if implemented in sub categories.look and feel>>mockups]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 16:21:45 +0000 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 19:58:30 +0000
I really hope this gets implemented.]]> Sun, 06 Jul 2008 00:59:13 +0000
I want the community to choose the default theme too! :)]]> Mon, 07 Jul 2008 16:25:24 +0000 Think that the first look can make a newbie coming to Ubuntu or to remaining under Windows.
Hope the default theme will be more consensual than the previous ones...

It won't let me mark them.
