<div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">The plan also foresees the creation of a unified look and feel for Ubuntu and Kubuntu.

This would certainly be more unified, and I don't think confusion will be a problem as you do thoughtfully "pick" Xubuntu, so you know it's Xfce and what you can expect, not that some one will feel like "where has the menu's gone?". I think the more unified the better, personally.

<div style="direction: ltr;"><div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">It was suggested that since drapper would be supported for 3 years, it should be made as attractive as possible. </div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">
There are three themes that have already been recommended for
dapper; they could be looked at the link below; everyone can add a theme to the list and when the deadline is up the community will pick one, which will be further polished and modified to meet the above requirements.</div>

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkTeam/AdditionalThemes</a></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;">I think xubuntu too should adopt this approach and make the interface as unified as possible with the other two siblings.
<br><br>Anyhow, these are the ideas that surfaced up from the intense two days discussions on the art-team mailing list. And with all probability, things will speed up even more, because Mr Shuttleworth has joined to the mailing list and become very active.
<br><br>When I find out more, I will post it here.</div></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span> <div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"></div></span></div></div></blockquote></span></div><div style="direction: ltr;">
</div><br>thanks. If you think, you could post and say that we too are very interested in the outcome of the discussions and
<br>would benefit from a unified approach to themes across derivatives.<br>I'll just start watching u-artwork through gmane myself.<br></div><div style="direction: ltr;"><span class="sg"><br>Jani<br>
