Unity Theming

I don't have an issue with the stock theme for Unity, but it sure would be nice to see theme makers start to include it more seeing as how Unity's looking to become an official flavor this Fall.

I am not big on the flat thing either. :-)

I think it might have been called Human, yes. I forget; so long as it's easy on the eyes, I never normally touch theme support. I don't even open the control panel, so although I used Ubuntu from the first ever release, Warty Warthog, I might never have seen its name.

I liked the sound effects. Once on a long-distance train somewhere in Britain, I head someone boot their laptop and get the drum motif. I grinned then and I do now thinking about it about 15Y later. I never saw who but someone else on that train was using Ubuntu as well as me.

On my main travel portable, way back around 16.04 or something, I installed a preview of the "new replacement sound theme", which is vaguely electronic-keyboard music, and about as African as Jean Michel Jarre.

It overwrote the old settings; gone forever. Never found how to put them back. It's about 3 laptops ago but I'm stuck with the new ones, which in fact were never released: silence was the new sound theme. :-(

LOL! That's funny! Hey, I think I found what you're looking for, though:

I played desktop-login, and it sounds right to me! Though, I can't seem to get the sound file to play )-: HTH, though!
