I like Human-Murrine. I like the glossy buttons and the animated progress bars. I never liked Human very much, but I have been using Human-Murrine for a week or two now.

In my opinion Human-Murrine is nicer than Human in almost everything except the progress bars.

I prefer the bars of Murrine, but the dropdowns are a bit weird

I’ll leave my judgment out of this (I prefer straight up Clearlooks), but any idea why they reverted back to Human instead of the Murrine engine? (I’m sure I could look up the discussion, but I’m guessing you’re already aware.)

actually neither one… i don’t mind the color and palette choice for Ubuntu but everything looks so… flat and candy-like and a little ancient. i don’t think they have to go all super glossy like vista but i think all of the items need an overhaul

Pretty hard to choose between the 2, I like them both. In terms of a default theme if we really can’t choose just have a dialogue at first time boot up allowing the user to choose the theme.

I don’t like Human-Murrine, it’s too flat and boring. The bars and sliders of Human are far more interesting. I really like orange as well which helps!

I love the Human-Murrine theme! It looks very professional.
