Opening an ayatana-design component so they can review your comment, the idea seems to be that the dialog will add options out of the appaerance configuration ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => Wishlist ** Also affects: ayatana-design Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/918580 Title: System Settings 'User Interface' name is bad in 12.04 Status in Ayatana Design: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I updated my 12.04 installation and noticed that in the System Settings section that Appearance has changed its name to User Interface. That name is a term that beginner users will not be familiar with and will most likely avoid clicking. Appearance is a much better name and has more meaning for the end user. These sorts of terms need to be avoided if Ubuntu wants to target less techy users and portray itself as a user friendly environment.
