It's seems Ubuntu has thrown away it's identity to be more 'MAC'ish! Why Ubuntu has to copy the upper panel icons and colors from Mac OSX? Windows has it's own identity, so does Mac; but where is the distinctive identity of Ubuntu? Doesn't it looks like ubuntu is suffering from it's own identity crisis? 2. What about the changes of icons (systems, folders, navigation etc.)? Hasn't the time come to change them too? The Humanity icons are looking very toyish comparing to the new theme(s). 3. And please... consider the sleek bread crumb style for Nautilus (which can be found here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/02/give-nautilus-elementary-breadcrumbs.html ). 1.

Maybe the so disturbing left buttons and overall bad Mac OS clone look... could be their last contribution to free software. Just see how these changes (especially buttons) are welcome worlwide in ubuntu forums! For a LTS version, which also targets corporate environments, that will probably a greatest deal breaker than for home users: No one wants to experience such huge ergonomy change and it's impact on productivity imo. On top of that, reversing all this mess in gconf cause troubles: icons that was in the past (at least up to the latest LTS) homogeneous and symetrical in design... are no more => Very bad look when you reverse all to the usual position. So, a huge change... and no good way to cope with: Good job guys, you're going straight in the wall! “we have a design team who perform incredible contributions to a free software Operating System”…
