Sorry to hear that you're struggling so much with blue. But I'm afraid the old colors won't come back. It's open source after all, if you *really* can't stand it, you can edit /usr/lib/arm-gnueabi-hf/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/Themes/Ambiance/1.3/Palette.qml and change the colors yourself in there... > > Has there any decision been taken, or at least discussions been had? > > Would be lovely to hear from you guys and gals, > Peter > > > 2016-04-11 23:04 GMT+02:00 Randall Ross <[email protected]>: >> I have to agree with Peter.
