Okay i think i understand. Do you see any problem with getting new themes included? Or perhaps a lack of effort creating new themes? There seem to be lots of mockups that everybody loves, but aren't being turned into themes. Why is this?I love ubuntu, but i think it needs a lot of work on the interface, 'look and feel' and speed (although that's unrelated). Do you think the current system is fine? Should it change or should something be done to make the system work better?
