Great release, with great features, and still a really (really) bad UI. The new theme has so many inconsistencies and bad decisions made. And I find it really cringy for an LTS release to distribute this new theme as the default one.
I hoped hard the communitheme would be the official theme of this release, but no.
Examples:
- The active directory effect in Nautilus's sidebar makes me thing there were two sidebars with different purpose [1]
- Changing the background of every other rows in the settings look weird. The fact they are splitting settings by group do not help. I thought it was a theme glitch, and found out it was an actual feature [2]
I understand why people are interested in more serious theme (arc-theme) or even other Ubuntu-based distros (elementary...).

- piotrkubisa 8y agoPersonally I have no idea why they rolled these theme styles for nautilus while they have been worked on Communitheme [1], which does not have tab-like menu [2]. However I'd like to note even in adwaita (and many other styles) there is design inconsistency between nautilus and gnome-tweak-tool. Sadly, Ubuntu dev team and community have not released any stable version Communitheme yet, so they were too late to bring new, consistent theme to 18.04.
