| I know this theme will take huge technological improvements in Ubuntu's appearance, but this is necessary.

- Typing fields: White with a dark grey font.
Clear Concept Art
A new mock up will be coming soon. It will follow guidelines set down by the new Art Team initiative.

Improvements
Fonts
- Will use the default font as set by the new Art Team Initiatives.
Icons
Ubuntu Icon
I like the Ubuntu logo I have here. It was created by grevenlx. http://grevenlx.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Linux-Logo-Icon-18879369
OS Icons
- I am working with the art team to develop new icons, based off of Human. Pretty much just an update.
Wallpaper
- I would like to get the person who created the Hardy wallpaper to create one for Ibex. If you know who this was, let me know in my comment section.

- Thanks- I put up a new version that solves both of these problems. -- Salane89
