The Human Netbook Theme Does Not Appear in the Appearance Preferences Theme Selection.

[Dylan Taylor]

Binary package hint: human-netbook-theme

I am running Ubuntu Karmic Koala Netbook Remix on an Asus Eee PC 1000HA. I noticed that in the Appearance preferences dialog box, the Ubuntu-Netbook theme is not listed as an individual theme, but rather it is displayed by default as "Custom". Although many people won't care, it is very important that this gets fixed, as I will now explain. Suppose you install Ubuntu Karmic Netbook Remix, and you decide to try some new themes out of curiosity. You choose the "Human" theme because it is available, and select it because at the time you decided that you liked it. After a while, you get tired of the human theme, and want the default Human-Netbook theme back, but because it's not in the list you can't restore it. If it were added to the appearance dialog, this would not be an issue.

Workaround: If you need the Ubuntu-Netbook theme back, here is what you need to set as the custom options:

Controls: Dust
Window Border: Human
Icons: Humanity-Dark
Pointer: Human
Window Background: #D9D4CC Text: #323232
Input Boxes Background: #FFFFFF Text: #323232
Selected Items Background: #996B5C Text: #FFFFFF
Tooltips Background: #EBEAB8 Text: #323232

Agreed. I noticed this issue, too. I fiddled around with the theme a bit at one point while using the LiveCD version, and I noticed that I could not go back to the original theme. The UNR theme should be a saved theme package.

The initial settings in 9.10 are not the same as the actuall Human Netbook theme. I was able to install the theme using the following command.

sudo apt-get install human-netbook-theme

Bruce, is that theme the same as the initial UNR settings for 9.10 or for 9.04?
