regardless, it's clear that many people feel very strongly that they don't like the theme in its current iteration. i suggest you read some of their comments. my experience of it is also that it's a pretty poor dark theme. http://episteme.arstechnica.com/eve/forums?a=tpc&s=50009562&f=174096756&m=299007113931&r=299007113931 from: http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20080629-horny-for-ubuntu-8-10-first-look-at-intrepid-ibex.html regardless, instead of just diving in there now and making changes - you fixing the scrollbars, me trying to return some sane contrast to the colour palette - i feel it would be wise to provide a central forum for /users/ of the theme to make constructive criticisms. it could take the form of a sticky thread setup by one of the moderators at Ubuntu Forums, alongside similar forums in other languages. currently, the criticisms are spread both too widely and in contexts not constructive to collating well-meaning, useful feedback.. cheers, -- julian oliver http://julianoliver.com http://selectparks.net messages containing HTML will not be read. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
