8.10 and still no new theme?!?

...this theme is is buggy (Max. a window and look at the top right and left corners)....then again the Human theme (window manager) is buggy with Nvidia+Compiz.

I give up and use clearlooks.

You would think they would have fixed that. If this were Apple, a GUI acting buggy like this would have never made it out the door!.

But Apple also doesn't have tons of hardware to support. Maybe if some of the people who complained fixed stuff, Ubuntu would be better.

I say that dark Dust Theme looks awesome =D>. Maybe have it so it has transparency like glass in parts, but other than that I think that is awesome. On my bright monitor, the dark menu bars help combat my eye fatigue.

I do a similar thing with Firefox's dark night time Shuttle Launch theme. It seems a bit odd, but it helps focus you on the content area, and is a beat less weary on the eyes.

All Nvidia cards have Nvidia Chips. ATI cards ATI chips. 2 manufacturers to deal with!!. You make sound like there is a hundred chip manufacturers out there.

Theres Nvidia, ATI, Intel, Via, and probably others I don't know about. All these require different drivers. There aren't one hundred, but there are many different brands of video cards.

are you on kubuntu then? oh in that case it won't be there....

I use both KDE and GNOME.

Why has no one mentioned the DarkRoom theme? I love it! I use it with a mix of basic clearlooks. I think it's just fantastic.

[jedimasterk]

The Darkroom theme is plane UGLY!!. It doesn't work well with Compiz and vidio card drivers. The upper part of the toolbar will flash white every so often. This is also a big problem with OpenOffice. Best bet to switch to Emerald if you want to use Human or Dark Looks. Also Fonts in applications like thunderbird are very difficult to see on toolbars with darkroom theme. You can't even see them at all without highlighting them (SEND and COMPOSE for example).

The usual farce, sadly. Canonical can't even begin to dream of taking on the big boys with this kind of **** poor level of organisation.

You can use the "blubuntu" theme if you're averse to orangish-brown;

sudo apt-get install blubuntu-look

I really like BluBuntu, it's really smooth.
