brainstorm.ubuntu.com — Rather than have nerdgasms over a theme that will never ship with the next version of Ubuntu instead throw your support behind this gorgeous theme that is actually possible. Let's show Canonical that we want something sleek and sophisticated that can actually ship.

I expect no less than 200 comments saying..."It looks too much like _____"- Windows- OS X- KDESeriously people, who the f**k cares? You're going to find similarities no matter what. Unless the theme looks identical enough to fool you into thinking that it really is Windows, OS X, or KDE, then it's fine. I remember when KDE 4 was first released and people said it looked too much like Vista. When I asked them to be more specific, almost universally the answer was, "The taskbar is black." That's it? I suppose anything with a dock is going to look too much like OS X too?Focus on what Ubuntu is doing, not what everyone else is doing. If Windows or OS X have some good ideas, then fine, let's use them. If not, let's come up with something better. Let's not get into this petty fight about "It's too much like" or "It's too different than." Focus on what makes for the best usability experience.Make real criticisms of the UI. Is the text readable? Are the boundaries for buttons and other widgets visible? Does the color scheme match? Etc.

Yup, but.. I would change the firefox icons from the OS X ones. They are pretty out of place.

why would you need to do it with just an image editor and just a text editor? You aren't allowed to install anything else?OKay, then lets play who can listen to mp3's out of the box, but you can't install any codecs.
