[ubuntu-art] Need Help Testing Dust Theme

[Adam]

i dont see any problem with the black toolbars, since every other part
of the theme is light grey, it is very easy on the eyes. The point is
its not like the others, something new, something less boring. Changing
something doesnt mean it is worse, it means it is different, it is new.
it would be a bad sign if a good theme wouldnt be accepted just because
the artwork theme doesnt dare to change.

the purple selected color doesnt have too much with ubuntu, but its
something that anybody can change easily.

i attach a variant of mine i hope Rico wont mind.
