[ubuntu-art] Naxos Theme Clear Version

[Adam]

i totally agree, the colors are not subjective, and very important
elements of the whole look. Most people wont change there color shame,
while they judge many things at the first sight. However I wouldnt say
that only the gray-white-blue works, it can be a good tone of orange or
other colors.
