I think , what the good people at Cannonical has come up with, both in terms of the new logo. The new colour scheme and the Radiance/Ambiance theme, is a huge step forward.
It looks good and professional.
Calling it ugly and uploading this blank canvas and calling that less ugly, is a bold move on your part.
The only problem I see, is with the ubuntu-mono icons.
Early on, in the Alpha stage, they introduced some purple colours to the icon set. Now, purple might not be the way to go and it wasn't well recieved in the community.
But isn't it about time we moved away from those orange folder icons ?

same old same old. looks just like any other nothing special i changed the window border and adjusted the colour theme. not original. vote bad for waste of space

I like it more than the default one, more simple and elegant/plain. Also, the buttons are a lot better :)

for me its much uglier than default
