Yes, that theme is great but delievers an inconsistent user interface
because the title bar is used to move the windows, so they should be on a
distinct shade/colour.

Otherwise, I'm agree with some points you have exposed. The most important
is the black/orange. I don't find that a dark theme mixed with orange could
be the best choice for ubuntu artwork. And somebody said that a dark theme
would not work with all apps, so... I think we should drop the dark theme
idea.

I want to say something more or less related with the discussion about dark
theme. Have you ever seen the Ubuntu Studio artwork wiki page? I did a few
days ago, and it seems that the have some really important things very
clear. They have a pallete, guidelines, etc. But the Ubuntu default wiki
page has something under Guidelines:* **"**Be aware that anything not
following the official guidelines (coming soon) will not be eligible as a
default."*
I think that the problem is that "coming soon". The guidelines, in my
opinion, are the firts thing that we have to create. Maybe I'm wrong and
this brainstorming will deliever consistent guidelines, but I think that
this is not what we're doing now, really?

Cheers!
