Title: Ubuntu need a dark theme and background Status in “ubuntu-themes” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-themes There is no Ubuntu theme with dark background in the theme package that is installed by default. There are the special high contrast themes that do not look well on hardware that provides sufficient contrast, and there is the Darklooks modification of Clearlooks that is in the extra themes. Darklooks is usable and does have dark background but it looks somewhat bland since it has no colors. Themes with dark background are useful because some screen defects manifest more noticeably when dark text is rendered on light background making the text harder to read. Also I find too light backgrounds tiring for my eyes. Another reason to use dark background might be that it probably saves energy on most CRT screens ;-) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-themes/+bug/158392/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
