Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: light-themes
I truly appreciate the hard work that has went into the new Lucid
artwork. Recognizing that, the choice of aubergine as a color scheme
leaves ***much*** to be desired.
I am keenly aware that aesthetics are never a topic of complete
agreement, but is the majority of public opinion positive or negative
towards the color switch? My very informal poll (showing users the new
scheme) would seem to indicate that it is not well received.
Perhaps a larger question is if Ubuntu is a community-driven effort, was
the choice of new theme brought before the community to solicit
feedback? Or was this a "here's your new theme" closed door decision?
I am very well aware it is unlikely that there is sufficient time to
change the theme even if community opinion was sufficiently persuasive.
So while not a traditional bug, I'm filing this as a concerned Ubuntu
advocate that believes the new "out of the box" experience for Ubuntu
does not put its best foot forward.
