“Maverick brings you the Ubuntu look to your Windows 10. ~dpcdpc11, the author of the theme, says: It helps give your Windows install a fresh identity and could help make switching between OSes a little less jarring. Maverick is a Windows 10 theme (‘visual style’) inspired by the look of the default Ubuntu theme ‘Ambiance’. If you don’t use/like/understand Windows 10, or don’t like the look of Bunt’s default theme then, well, this isn’t a post for you! But I don’t feel like that’s going to happen any time soon.This post is pitched squarely at those of you whom endure use Windows 10 and who like the look of default Ubuntu.
You’d think some talented but underappreciated designer would see this problem as a unique opportunity to floor everyone and demonstrate his chops. I’ve been dying for someone to come up with the first decent GNOME theme ever to be released. And, invariably, scantily-clad anime characters as wallpaper in the screenshots. And the over-designed ones are too specific to a single person’s taste to really ever find traction among more than a small percentage of all GNOME users - and in the worst cases, they’re bulky, illegible, and have the unmistakable sound of bad techno seeping out of them. The under-designed ones can be functional but look awful, as though they were designed more than a decade ago. Every theme is either under- or over-designed, or is an attempt to mimic some other OS. In my opinion there are no good GNOME themes. Mira is one I’d never heard of, but as is so often the case with GNOME themes, it sacrifices usability for style. But that is a useless and confusing design gimmick. I haven’t installed either of them, so I would hope that at the very least some indicators are revealed when you hover over them. The problem with themes like Elementary and (Night) Impression is that their buttons have no indication of what they do. Of course I know what it means, so I don’t have any trouble with it other than that it’s not “correct,” although recently a friend was using my computer and was unable to figure out how to restore a maximized window. I wouldn’t know how to indicate “Restore” in a way that matches the simple geometrics of Shiki’s window buttons, but a plus sign is not it. I currently use some variant of Shiki, but one thing that drives me crazy about it is that the Maximize button remains a plus sign when the window is maximized.
