RE[2]: What's the point of screenshots?

I like "warm and earthy". But I've never really thought that the brown themes worked all that well. Brown is a very difficult color to work with. While color variation depending upon monitor, brightness and contrast settings, etc. are always an issue... brown is in a class by itself when it comes to such variations. On your monitor, it may be a beautiful "chocolate", whereas on mine it may look like baby feces.
I use the "Outdoors" theme, which is based upon Ubuntu's "Human" theme, but is a green theme rather than a brown one. I combine it with a nice backdrop from Olympic National Park to very nice effect.

This is what I was thinking about, a while back. Especially that the colors are dull. I hope Ubuntu changes these colors to something more catchy, like dark brown and sand instead of light brown and grey.
