class="gmail_quote">Yes, Simon, the dark-ish theme
is deprecated now for several reasons.<br>
We tried shipping a dark panel theme with light
windows and (inverted)<br>
white icons. But there were some problems with it:<br>
<br>
- the theme needed too many updates, and we don't
have the resources<br>
Ubuntu has for maintaining both themes<br>
<br>
- after several GTK & app icons updates, some
glyphs had to be<br>
constantly re-written (specially the system tray
ones) and we can't,<br>
obviously, cover the entire app ecosystem (every
theme out there lacks<br>
some app icons)<br>
<br>
- LXDE is constantly changing and evolving and
that's a problem for us,<br>
the artwork people. See, for example, the language
applet. At first we<br>
used a single applet icon for it, then the flags
appeared and we needed<br>
to make 164 new glyphs for every language and
resolution (keep in mind<br>
having to duplicate all of them in white colour),
and then we changed<br>
to Fcitex, all that work is useless now (again, more
icons)<br>
<br>
That's why Lubuntu theme (the only one) is the only
pre-installed,<br>
depending on Gnome icons (they keep those glyphs
updated so we can<br>
focus on apps) and same with GTK. Also, a distro
usually uses just one<br>
theme, that visually identifies the system, and it
can't be the perfect<br>
match for every user. And that's where Linux tops
over other OSes,<br>
letting you to customise at any level.<br>
<br>
Anyway, if you want to get back the semi-dark theme,
you can grab the<br>
GTK [1] and icon [2] themes (I released them to
allow any user to<br>
continue or fork them), or even download new ones
from Gnome-Look [3].<br>
Sorry if this isn't what you expected to hear, but
we're doing a big<br>
effort to keep the Lubuntu overall looking nice,
specially now we're<br>
porting everything to Qt, using a new syntax, new
apps new controls and<br>
almost re-doing it from scratch.<br>
<br>
Thanks for understanding.<br>
