Default and Pantheon dock themes are confusing

[Cassidy James Blaede]

By default, we ship with our Pantheon plank theme selected. However, Plank's "default" theme is something else.

We should rename what we currently present as "Pantheon" to "Default" and what we currently present as "Default" to "Plank" in the dock tab of the shell plug. This way if someone wants to reset the theme to the default (what we ship with), they get the right theme. I believe this has to be done at the plug level because we need to keep the actual names behind the scenes the same as what they currently are.

But we also don't really need to burden the user with the fact that our DE is called Pantheon. ;)

Hmm... how would one go about contributing code for this? I have to admit, I don't entirely understand how Launchpad works.

Austin, you install bzr to retrieve the branch (like git)

bzr branch lp:switchboard-plug-pantheon-shell

then you make the changes to the code necessary, compile and test them (look into HACKING for these steps), and then upload them to your launchpad account with

bzr push lp:~aust56/switchboard-plug-pantheon-shell/fix-1293422

Finally, request to merge them by going to your account>code>$BRANCH and there should be a button to request a merge. You will also want to associate the branch with this bug and assign yourself to the bug so people know you are working on it, and what you have done.

Marking as invalid since we dropped themes config. Plank follows the theme distributed with the system theme now
