Unity Theme (Desktop)

**speedkreature** · June 15th, 2011

Just giving this thread a bump to show it some love.

I'll admit, during the Alphas of 11.04, I was very disappointed by Unity. I've since worked with Ubuntu 11.04 and Fedora 15 and from what I can tell, Unity is more efficient (fewer clicks/movements to complete an action) in most cases compared to Gnome 3 with Gnome Shell.

Symphony looks like an amazing theme and provides a level of polish to the desktop on par with (but very different from) Apple's OS X theme (at least since I last used in @ 10.5).

I suggest to swap the brown out for an equally light hue of that funky orange to keep the theme consistent with the current Ubuntu color scheme, but other than that it rocks hard core.

I wish everyone/anyone working on this the very best (as I have no relevant skills to contribute).

Hi all,

First of all, Thanks all! I really appreciate all your uplifting comments..

It's been a while and I'm sorry there hasn't been an update for quite some time.
Just to ensure you it's not dead and I will continue work on this theme / concept but stopped with it for a while to evaluate Unity and Gnome 3.0.
Both have got some interesting ideas and concepts, but still can't match the old Gnome 2.0 interface.
I've bean thinking about which direction to take and ended up making a symbioses of the 2 and will start rework on the theme soon.

I will take all your criticism and ideas into account, so don't you worry you'll be left out and ignored.

(Even thinking about doing the same for android!)

Keep you updated and keep making valid points!

Thanks....

Just a thought but, you may want to think about gtk3....this be a nightmare but its reality.

Still trying to avoid any implementation direction just yet.
I want to incorporate concepts and workflow the way I (and you guys) think suits best and not being bothered by any technical implementation and limitations by choosing a framework.
Those will come further down the road eventually, unfortunately..

I'm trying to model a complete experience, not just a default theme for gnome shell.
