[Bug 845671] [NEW] Oneiric doesn't have ability to customize theme

[D. Wegener]

Public bug reported:

The Oneiric beta release has the ability to select different themes.
However, this version of Ubuntu no longer has the ability to customize
the theme.  Natty had the ability to select things like the
background/foreground color of tool tips, windows, etc.  It is important
to be able to adjust these colors.

I use Eclipse to develop on Linux and some of the popup windows use
system default colors for the background.  The debugger tool tip windows
showing variable values is one instance.  The foreground color is very
close to the system background color and you need to change the Ubuntu
colors in order to see the data.  If you don't, the display is black on
black and can't be read.

Releasing Oneiric without this ability will prevent me from upgrading.

** Affects: ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)

** Package changed: ubuntu => ubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
