I love Ubuntu for its brown tones! It sounds stupid, but I for myself once  
picked Ubuntu also for its brown design. It was a small factor, but  
definitely a mentionable. The brown is a corporate identity for Ubuntu,  
everybody who is involved in Linux recongizes this. I think themes that  
want to be considered as the new standard should be following that style.
