Public bug reported:
A new theme and colour-pallet has been introduced in Lucid.
It seems that brown is the past, while aubergine is the present and the future,
at least for some releases.
Issue: All representations (icons) of computers and the desktop are
brown.
Expected look: Icons of computers and desktops shout be either
aubergine/orange (or neutral).
Explanation: The colour brown that has been used for the screens in computer
and desktop icons does not blend terribly well with the new aubergine colours.
(e.g. background)
In order to deliver a consistent and professional look I think the icons should
be adapted to the new (aubergine) colour scheme.
Solution: Replace all desktop and computer icons by icons that use aubergine
(or a neutral) colour.
When deciding on the new colour for these icons one should perhaps keep in mind
that many users might change the background picture for their desktop. In an
ideal world the desktop icon would be automatically generated from the
background immage, whenever the background is changed. Since this is probably
not possible for Ubuntu 10.4. I guess it is probably the best solution to stick
to the cooperate colour (a tone of aubergine/orange).
The attached screenshot illustrates the issue. At the screenshot one can
see 6 (!) representations of brown computers or desktops. (This is the
standard icon set for Lucid at 09th March)
