Holy crap, can’t wait!

Well, I would, but Gnome is too slow, and Compiz isn’t usable due to the black-windows-bug on nVidia.

No more monkey colours please!
Get real!

sorry but that looks horrible

Looks great! Keep up the good work

I consider this a really really gorgeous theme but I also think that it is too nice for Ubuntu. I mean when did they ever accept a nice theme (Kubuntu included) they’ll just reject it and then have some one eat leaves and sticks leave it to be digested a little, then vomit it on the floor, take a picture and then use that as the new uber sleek backdrop (of course Mark will comment on the neuvo art style on his blog and they’ll win the Turner art prize).

Damn, this is really nice, I hope the Ubuntu team adopts it. It’s warm and human, something we badly needs to replace the olding theme. We need something fresh like this

I liked brown during the fall in Michigan (USA). Then I stopped liking it. Recently we painted a room a dark tan, and I rediscovered brown It is a very warm, comfortable color. So, apparently it’s the anal brown haters who only see excrement when they see brown vs. the realists who have learned that all browns are not necessarily bad, and some are downright homey!!!

So, honestly, how hard is it to go into the preferences and adjust the theme? If you don’t like brown, shut the hell up and make your own theme. Just downgrade down to Vista if your going to complain that much about aesthetics.

Der zweite shot ist ja mal der Hammer, auch wenn ich die Fenstrahmen für zu dunkel halte und die untere Leiste fehlt. Aber sonst geht es schon in die richtige Richtung.
Aber war nicht mal angedacht, dass der kommende Theme Schwarz/Orang sein soll? Ich sehe weder das eine noch das andere.

Hire a professional to design the desktop. Nothing like making a great system and putting a crappy interface on the front of it!

The theme is gorgeous. The colors are a matter of debate, but since the colors don’t necessarily need to go with the theme (you can change them in the control center), just go with the current palette then you can use a color wheel or something to find the equivalents in different hues, and period.

i agree that the brown is ugly, but the whole point of ubuntu is that it is completely customizable, so really if the brown bothers you please change it. its easy, and if you can get over the brown, its probably the best os.

Don’t get the menu’s completely, does that “Inactive window with toolbar” have two menu’s? Or does that toolbar just looks like a menu?

I love the orange/brown colour mix. It’s the Ubuntu identity. I really think that these colours are the reason for the popularity of Ubuntu.

Na se ve horrible, demasiado oscuro!!!

The colors are based on the “ubuntu philosophy”, they won’t change it and I agree with them.
If you don’t like it, do what I do: just download another theme and use, it’s that simple.
Please stop b#tching.

I can wait for the new gnome.

that color scheme is seriously awesome….like the orange crap was okay…but this is great….and I love how the top menus flow together….can’t wait for the release!

quit hatin on the brown….it’s so easily changeable you’d have to be a moron to simply sit there and stare at it saying “damn I hate this color”

Nice work

I loved the Ubuntu brown/gold/black theme and this is even nicer. Brown is a terrific idea for Ubuntu, African name and colors that are reminiscent of that continent.

There are dozens of uninspired OS Themes out there Ubuntu has never been boring.

However much I like the brown/Orange color scheme (thought it is really hard to get ‘just right’), once again it should be stressed that these mockups are *just suggestions from users*, not any official Ubuntu theme mockup.

What is with so many half wits in here calling brown shit? don’t you know chocolate is brown too? what do you want? Xp sick blue and green? GOOD GRIEF MAN YOU CAN CHANGE THE COLOURS OF THE OS GOD FORBID EVEN XP CAN BE CUSTOMIZED, STOP THE BROWN SHIT ARGUMENT YOU SET OF BABOONS!!!

THE THEME HERE LOOKS QUITE ELEGANT.

Hm that sounds good but I would like to know more details.
