I just found the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand so I guess the new
theme is serious. Sorry if I upset somebody with me feedback. Looks is a
matter of taste..

I at least hope you would choose the lighter GTK theme as default (btw,
it looks just like Mac?) and not the dark one. Also, I heavily recommend
changing the default background image both in Gnome and login window.

You might also want to check out how the boot image and themes look with
different screens. For example on my 32 inch LCD screen the "dots"
around the Ubuntu circle are just 2x2 pixels big and thus barely
visible.

Personally I'll install the theme that was on alpha-3 in stead of using
the Mac-clone.

Btw, the orange packaging and website theme at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Brand2 look very good. It's just the dark/fuzzy
boot/background/desktop theme I dislike.
