** Package changed: ubuntu => ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: - A new theme and colour-pallet has been introduced in Lucid. - It seems that brown is the past, while aubergine is the present and the future, at least for some releases. + A new theme and colour-pallet has been introduced in Lucid. + It seems that brown is the past, while aubergine is the present and the future, at least for some releases. Issue: All representations (icons) of computers and the desktop are brown. - Expected look: Icons of computers and desktops shout be either aubergine - or colour neutral. + Expected look: Icons of computers and desktops shout be either + aubergine/orange (or neutral). - Explanation: The colour brown that has been used for the screens in computer and desktop icons does not blend terribly well with the new aubergine colours. (e.g. background) - In order to deliver a consistent and professional look I think the icons should be adapted to the new (aubergine) colour scheme. + Explanation: The colour brown that has been used for the screens in computer and desktop icons does not blend terribly well with the new aubergine colours.

In an ideal world the desktop icon would be automatically generated from the background immage, whenever the background is changed. Since this is probably not possible for Ubuntu 10.4. I guess it is probably the best solution to stick to the cooperate colour (a tone of aubergine/orange). + Solution: Replace all desktop and computer icons by icons that use aubergine (or a neutral) colour. + When deciding on the new colour for these icons one should perhaps keep in mind that many users might change the background picture for their desktop.
