[ubuntu-art] Whats Up with This?

[Michael Stephenson]

Have you actually used the theme? Your initial disgust at the colour scheme
may subside if you actually used it and saw it in action, I know I love the
theme.
If the colour scheme isn't for you there will doubtless be many rehashes of
this theme in lighter colour schemes.  There is alot more to a theme than
the colour scheme, People are always insisting that OSX is gorgeous, well I
personally think the grey is too dark, the blue highlights are just garish
and the close ,minimize, and maximize buttons in the window border are tacky
and not as functional as the standard _ [] X. To me this is the best looking
theme I have ever seen a linux distribution ship with and the digg naysayers
are probably not ubuntu users anyway.
In summary if you havent at least tried the theme out you should not even be
posting your "opinion" on the mailing list.
Add this to your sources.list and upgrade your packages.
