Ubuntu contributor Didier Roche today announced the name and plan for preparing a community theme for the upcoming Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish). The Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) operating system will by default provide new system themes and icons for new installations, and the theme will be developed by members of the Ubuntu community rather than by Canonical employees. To this day, this theme is called Communitheme, but from now on it is called Yaru.
Yaru is ready to be the default theme for Ubuntu 18.10. When the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) was released a few months ago, the Yaru theme has developed, but now it is ready to become the default system theme for Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish). In the past few months, the team has done an excellent job of improving Yaru. This theme looks great, clear, elegant and colourful.
Didier Roche said:
“Yaru continues on the Japanese influences of Suru, and its meaning, “to do” or “to give” fits perfectly with this project: Yaru is here because we did it, we’re happy to give it to you to spread Ubuntu’s culture of sharing, and we hope it helps you do cool stuff on Ubuntu. Best of all, even the name was vetted in by the community.”
Yaru’s title bar, sidebar background and window colour, bright and elegant button settings provide warm and welcoming tones, providing a more discrete blue shade for text selection, rather than the intense orange colour used until now. There are also more rich notifications, as well as more profound depth effects, window shadows and borders, and GNOME Shell that looks similar to Unity 7 and Unity 8 designs.
Yaru based on the GNOME Shell and Adwaita themes, which makes maintenance easier. In the next few days, Yaru will log on to the upcoming Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) operating system for everyone to test and send feedback to its creators.
