I agree to a certain extent... Brown and Orange are definately not attractive to the majority of users, But I can't ever see canoncial EVER releasing an ubuntu without it, since they are obsessed with the human theme crap. It would be good if there was ATLEAST a comprimise, and maybe blend in some other colours with the human theme. The WillWill mockup is a perfect example in my opinion, a dark theme mixed in with the human theme. I think Black goes together very well with brown/orange/yellow...... Willwill mockup is the best mockup out there for ubuntu to take ideas from. Personally, i like widgets too, would be nice to have these as an option by default :) symon.
