Hi,

Wasn't this the point of it though? To weed out issues with applications
that don't work well with dark/nonstandard themes?

I rather like the new theme :-) I think with the new graphic designers
in canonical[1] Jaunty will hopefully be very pretty.

That's a nice theme, but I saw one the other week, which really did
catch my eye as being very professional looking:

 This is the one thing that has annoyed me with intrepid well more so
disappointed me, hardy was supposed to get a make over which was then
deferred for intrepid which I think was a bad move aswell (new LTS release,
new artwork).

I guess theres a reason for it though.Lets just hope we get a new look for
Jaunty.;)
