Well I'm not saying they are (or aren't)! Still, I don't think the white 
background is Ubuntu's main differenciation. The interface would 
basically be the same if scopes were some sort of overlay with some 
degree of transparency over the background, just like the Unity7 Dash 
is, and a bit like the Unity8 home/lock screen is. But I guess it was 
abandonned for a reason, might be harder to read, and you probably 
wouldn't want a completely blurred background anyway.

So again, I like it the way it is now and I'm sure I'll like it even 
more when I see the desktop mode (still waiting for my shipment 
notification from the pre-sales…). My remark on white was more of a 
general remark, not particularly about scopes. And that is not 
differenciation since it follows the general minimalistic trend (I don't 
know why exactly but I loved the old switch button!)
