[ubuntu-art] Where's the official proposed theme idea?

[Corey Woodworth]

At first I didn't like this theme, but it is really growing on me. Of coarse
there are things that still need work. The orange in the theme feels out of
place. It just doesn't fit it because of how heavy the browns are. I think
using white as the selected item color in the menus would look a lot better.
I also think that the notification area needs to use different colors. It
needs to stand out more. Now it hardly stands out at all since it is the
same color as the background behind it, and of most windows. Speaking of the
windows, I really like the way the titlebar and menu bar are visuially
connected int the active window. In the unactive window where it looks like
just a gradient from brown to tan looks very ugly to me.

I think this theme is about the prettiest a brown theme could be, but we
would still get a lot of flac from the brown haters if this were default. I
hope that it works well with the color options in the appearence settings so
that keeping the theme but using a different  color is just a couple of
clicks worth of work.
