["D. Wegener" <825939@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm very disappointed that the Ubuntu developers allowed this release to
proceed with such a basic requirement missing.  Not allowing users to
customize their desktop is unacceptable.  Because of this regression, I
will not be upgrading to the 11.10.  In a number of the related bugs, a
claim is made that this is an upstream issue and the problem needs to be
brought up there.  This is a cop out by the Ubuntu developers.  Ubuntu
delivers the desktop.  They need to insure that it is functional for
their users.  Blaming someone else for their poor decisions reflects
poorly on them and on their ability to meet their users needs.

Title:
  No easy way to change theme

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In ubuntu 11.04 there's an application called "Apeareance" that helps to change the theme, icons, cursors, etc..
  But in 11.10 the application doesn't exists.
  There is an application called "Gnome Tweak Tool" but it depends of Gnome Shell, and it's not user friendly
  I think the fix for this is an Unity Theme Engine, making easier to users and developers to get, install and change a theme.
  For example, a Dash with themes, a package file for install it (including gtk3 theme, icons, wallpaper, unity dash icons, panel colors, backlight modifications, etc...)
