[ubuntu-art] Inconsistence of gradients and artwork colors

[bvc]

The progressbar should be the same as the titlebar and the tooltip shouldn't have any gradient at all. That should be enough IMO.
 
 Human 0.9.6 had a toned down orange that blended with the other 2 colors quite well but that was changed back to the bright orange and the theme is off now.

I thought them could be marked as wishlist, but were rejected and I
was suggested to post my opinion here.


Inconsistence of gradients
Almost each part of artwork uses different direction of gradient.
There is some direction on the title bars, but there is entirely
different on selected menu items and there is totally different on
progress bars, there is different on tool tips and so on. On gradients

I think one the gradient type should be used everywhere, and it could
be the one on title bars, because it is equally spread around each
character color than the bottom part.

Inconsistence of artwork colors
There is presented artwork improvements on
http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/flight6#head-e57be60d8115b73af9704b1db0d18723d81554ae

But everybody can see, that there is different shades of colors in
different pieces of artwork. E.g. there is one shade of color on title
bars, but another on progress bars and totally another on
notifications.

I think to be dapper drake really dapper, it should be used some color
generator to create adequate pallete of colors, which go together very
well (or go together better than the currently used colors at least):

I am convinced this changes couldn't lead to less atractivity of
Ubuntu, but it could lead to more polished artwork. On the other hand
I will respect any discussed conclusion, of course. I am looking
forwards to your reviews and opinions.
