I prefer the Ubuntu font as well (but I don't know about language support
of this type).

Talking about wallpapers... I think I'd miss a changing background (like
the Adwaita one), but Reda's work is so beautiful.

On the other hand: are you thinking about to do something with the Ubuntu
GNOME logo? I really love the Plymouth theme (perfect!), but I'd like an
"official" logo more... compact (ubuntuGNOME is sooo long). I have been
working about that (see draft attached).
