exploring matching launcher, panel and window borders for unity 6.0+ ?

 




Unity is constantly evolving in the looks department. Components start to match and integrate better with each other in every new cycle:

- launcher and its elements now matches the chameleonic dash.

- notify-osd now matches too. example:

Now, are there any plans to explore the remaining elements like matching panel, window borders and maybe some extra theming in the next cycles (after the lts) ?

I think unity could become more beautiful, than any current desktop.

I've found some examples (some very similar or inspired by unity) of panels/borders in this gallery and i must say they would look great:

some of my favorites are:

that's one of my hopes for upcoming cycles :)
