Title:
Gnome-shell needs some Ubuntu design/theming integration (font, on-off
swithch, etc.)

Bug description:
This is obviously a wish report, not a bug report per se.
Since Ubuntu Oneiric, gnome-shell can easily be installed and it works
pretty well, coexisting peacefully with Unity. With this option
easily available, a significant number of Ubuntu users may prefer
using gnome-shell instead of Unity, for whatever reasons. That's why
I think some efforts should be put to better integrate gnome-shell
within the regular Ubuntu design/theming framework. IMHO, what is
missing right now is some slight adjustments, like these ones:
- Using Ubuntu font, instead of Canterella
- Using Ubuntu orange color for on/off buttons, instead of blue
Many (if not all) of these adjustments could be done quite easily (I
did it myself) with just a line modification in /usr/share/gnome-
shell/theme/gnome-shell.css or by adjusting color in files within the
directory /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme
On the other hand, I don't think that we need a complete and specific
Ambiance or Radiance gnome-shell theme (like this one: http://half-
left.deviantart.com/art/GNOME-Shell-Ubuntu-Ambience-210264151) . I
think (I may be wrong) that the vast majority of users will prefer to
experience the real gnome-shell experience, with just some bits of
Ubuntu integration.
So, in short, my wish is that gnome-shell receives some Ubuntu love!
We don't have to create a "Gubuntu" derived distro for this (or a
fork, like UGR: http://ugr.teampr0xy.net/) , we just have to make sure
that some integration work is done at the gnome-shell packaging stage.
(I guess that to support this work, the Ubuntu/gnome-shell community
could unite around the Ubuntu GNOME3 team? See:

Thanks.
