The completely new theme for Ubuntu 8.04 has been deferred to the following release. The original plan was to have a fresh theme for every long-term-support release, starting with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. Now it has been decided to put off the redesign until Ubuntu 8.10. Many theme concepts can be found in the Ubuntu Artwork wiki.

One thing people have to realize is that Ubuntu really needs to get the theme right the first time it tries. At the moment, when people compare it to Fedora and SuSE, they only compare the ease-of-use, integration, and functionality. No one bothers to compare graphic arts because well it's brown, it's ugly, but it's supposed to be. Once the theme is changed, Ubuntu will have to compete on this front too and people might realize that Fedora and SuSE are better polished in certain ways.
