[ubuntu-art] // wider opinion of Dust theme from Ubuntu users //

[julian]

i thought it's perhaps worth drawing attention to the 'public'
appreciation of the Dust theme mockups:

	http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/12479/

	http://www.lunduke.com/?p=116

both of the above URL's had around 1.5k diggs and no less than 200 comments.
there is some worthy criticism/commentary in those threads. clearly Dust
is a direction worth following.

the first mockup didn't grab me all that much but this is certainly
going places, save perhaps the folder icons themselves (which look a
little stale, IMO. maybe it's that the grey in the 'dusty' window BG is
pulling in the grey from the folders too much, flattening them out):

cheers!
