This bug is unlikely to be fixed because:
- it does not describe a problem (and give evidence that it is a problem)
- CCSM is not an appropriate interface for end users (bad navigation, poor choice of controls, unhelpful labels)
- CCSM is not installed by default.

We do need Appearance settings for basic configuration, such as the ability to choose between Ambiance and Radiance. But CCSM isn't that.

So ubuntu should have a tool to configure unity. I hope to have it soon...

@Enrico; have you looked at Ubuntu Tweak? It doesn't cover everything but is a nice tweaking tool http://ubuntu-tweak.com/

I know, but it's not a default app. The new user doesn't know the existence of this tool. We have to simplify the use of computer, not complicate.

@Enrico - precisely :-). But adding options doesn't simplify things, it
makes people make choices they don't necessarily want to worry about.

@Mark - Yes, but this doesn't mean that we can haven't any tool for do this. In my opinion...

I'd like to see you live :P
