    Hi everybody,

    I hope this is the right place to make s suggestion about artwork
    and polish, as is it not about bugs.

    First of all, I would like to say that it is a very good thing that you take care of users feelings about new themes you create/propose.
    About that, I know that many people told you that the new theme in Dapper was too orange and maybe ugly. But you must keep in mind that this is not everybody's feeling about that.

    Personnaly, I didn't like the new human theme (brown windows, orange
    when flying upon buttons and menus and orange folders), I LOVED IT
    SO MUCH ! It was a very good idea.It was very different than what we
    are used to see. And I find the one you replaced it with is ugly
    (orange folders with blue menus are really not good together).

    Of course, you cannot satisfy everybody's tastes/feelings about artwork !
    That is the reason why I'd like to tell you that you should let users have the choice.
    For example, you could create a second human theme called "human orange" (or in theme's details for menus and buttons). Even if you keep something different for the default artwork on Ubuntu, you should, at least, keep the idea you had as a possible choice for the user. Why not ? This would satisfy everybody.

    The second thing is about OOo's icons. Openoffice's 2.0.2 package (the one that is distributed by Sun and contributors) let us choose the icon theme whatever desktop we are using (even if it uses the correct icon theme for the correct desktop by default).
    Once again, even if it is a good thing that you focus on gnome's integration, you should let the user have the choice (crystal icon theme), as everybody is not obliged to like it like that.

    Thank you.
