[ubuntu-art] How the first theme is chosen for the user.

[Sumit Agarwal]

Incorrect. Not many. MOST!
Most. people. do. not. customize. their. desktop.
At. all.

Which is just another way of saying: lets get things right the first  
time. Lets put all our efforts into a tasteful default desktop.

First order of business (in my opinion, and in the opinion of other  
non-enthusiasts I've spoken with) is color. While the orange/brown  
does effectively distinguish Ubuntu from other OS's, it is  
dramatically overused. Most people find it ugly. I don't think we  
should move away from those colors. I think we should simply limit  
what interface elements we actually apply them to.

This is an actual item/issue we can discuss. I'm inviting targeted  
dialogue around this. PLEASE converse around issues like this instead  
of creating mockups that aren't targeted at any specific issues!!!  
Once we've identified issues we can make mockups that address them!
