Thanks for you careful considerations, Daniel.

I'm not quite following you here, what I mean is that when you are in Yaru shell theme you can't pick Adwaita shell theme (that is, the other theme in the "Adwaita/Yaru" pair mentioned in the subject) and viceversa. Please feel free to reword it in the way you believe will cause less confusion because I'm sincerely not understanding.

Don't forget that there still would be a Default entry. Under Ubuntu you would get:

Default (meaning Yaru)
...
Adwaita
....
Yaru

Under vanilla:

Default (meaning Adwaita)
...
Adwaita
....
Yaru

Although my minimal proposal was to implement only the second case, because:

1) Users opting for vanilla desktop are probably less prone to confusion here.

2) They will be unable to use Yaru, which I consider worse than Ubuntu session users unable to use Adwaita. In fact, I want to use a vanilla session but I like Yaru and would like to achieve widget/shell consistency. It's a bit ridiculous being unable to use Yaru in Ubuntu :)

3) You only have to patch a package. Better, the less "upstreamy" one, yaru-theme.
