I like the dust theme very much, but as mentioned in the wiki it might be
too dark. using a dark theme on a laptop with screen brightness on low is
not so nice and laptops are clearly something to consider. Personally i
think having a bit more colour full theme wouldn't hurt ubuntu, something
that looks fresh and fun, I do love that ibex wallpaper, it is amazing.
