So, Unity rocks, it's great- good execution. Very stable and usable. Yadda yadda. So, now that we get the argument for Unity being a good choice out of the way, I'm wondering how exactly we're going to move to GTK 3.
For example, Nautilus, Gedit, File-Roller, and Banshee are all moving onto GTK 3 without turning back (except for maybe a GTK 2 version of Banshee). So, assuming that we will have GTK 3 versions of the default themes in Ubuntu by the next release, how do we plan on configuring themes? Are we just going to make a new theme selection interface for selecting matching GTK 2 and 3 themes? Are we going to do something similar to QtCurve or QGTKStyle to make a GTK 3 that looks like a current GTK 2 theme, or vice versa?
We only have six months to figure this out before we start abandoning new programs and looking old. Anyone have a clue as to where we could find information regarding this issue?
