Why can’t people criticize the brown theme without associating brown with bad things? This is really getting silly now. that said I do not like this particular brown theme, hope they change it, I am sure I saw some good brown theme mock ups on various sites, this is a dull theme indeed, I do not think it is just brown that is causing the ugliness it is the shade and the lack of gradients and gloss effects brown can be a vibrant attractive color, same way you could easily have an ugly green, blue, gray or white theme but that would not be a cause to say any of these are ugly or talk about how white is puke or other such rubbish.

After reading through numerous articles on Linux over the years, I’m really starting to think I could get on with its architecture quite easily…..

Keep the Linux updates and news coming!

This new “NewHuman” theme is one of the gratest things the community has done to Ubuntu! I just love it! If they could just add partly transparent menu-bars (top/bottom of desktop), then I would go for this theme! It is as radical as Mac’s brushed steel-theme, and how many doesn’t love the Mac because of it’s look?

Its a good idea however I know where all my bookmarks are and where they lead to anyway. So I guess I have no need for this plugin.

Brown is not a colour I enjoy much myself. It is associated with autumn and the end of a cycle, hardly the kind of colour to use for a fresh new theme!

I agree with you as I think themes in brown color cannot attract too much

I wish that I could use any linux based os. I have to use MS or Apple perforce. I however agree that brown somehow is not quite aesthetic!

The theme looks nice. I have been thinking of trying out Ubuntu, is it worth a try? and will all windows apps work fine in it?
