One day the Ubuntu usability experts will come to their senses; dark themes are less usable than light themes.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:06:14 +0000 http://blog.masslive.com/linkfarm/2008/09/tabbed_window.png

chipbennett, I disagree, but that's a matter of opinion. If you use a computer for long periods of time, a dark theme is less likely to give you a headache.

I prefer dark themes because I have photo-phobia, and I'm a programmer, so spend lots and lots and lots of time on the computer.

I use a modded Blue Dust metacity plus a Dust/OS X hybrid.

That being said, I think the New Human theme is very beautiful, and fits the Ubuntu theme. African, warm orange and brown colors. It is good for newcomers. Should they dislike it, they can easily change the theme.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:16:17 +0000 default.

I think they're great to have as options, and some of them do look pretty good (at least as screenshots).

But, not as default.]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:23:50 +0000
HUMAN THEME FTW!]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:30:27 +0000 _]]> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:34:33 +0000 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:36:21 +0000 Thu, 06 Nov 2008 04:27:11 +0000
I love the sand theme - but if you are looking at a monitor all day like i do, you may want something that is going to psychologically 'pick you up' and make you feel at ease.

Maybe some research on what colours and artwork are attractive to desktop users should be considered rather then choosing colours and themese based on philosophical and/or unmeasurable reasons.

Overall, I think the sand theme is 100% improvement on the out-of-the box theme but I still think we can do even better. ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 08:34:20 +0000

- one of the few themes that look really professional.

look at the other standard themes - you cant really say they are better. i would definitly integrate it, standard or not, people will use it.]]> Sun, 08 Mar 2009 13:53:42 +0000 The theme needs to be a mix between dark and light it's now to dark.
]]> Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:15:12 +0000 +1 for me!

I think that a dark theme would make Ubuntu recognizable from other desktop/distros.
Who don't like the dark theme will be able to switch to a light one, "de gustibus non est disputandum".]]> Wed, 11 Mar 2009 16:21:14 +0000
