some people like the ubuntu logo there
gives a feeling of a coherent operating system, rather than a mere collection of packages
theres nothing stopping you from putting the foot back on your own version tho

the ubuntu icon set is very ugly. they are a real regression compared to the tango set of gnome. also their logout button is hideous. same story on openoffice.org.

I don’t know but may be it’s a theme issue. look at darkilouch, it makes gmail looks the same as if it were a light theme, well except the widgets

Dunno if this is what you were asking, but I made my epiphany menu bar run ~/bin/my-epiphany %U, and ~/bin/my-epiphany is:

#!/bin/bash
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/usr/share/themes/Human/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
exec epiphany $@

The missing foot icon for the menu and other places in Ubuntu is probably one of the reasons i jumped ship back to Debian. I like Gnome as it’s made, i get annoyed when distros start forcing their own little version of Gnome on me, with Novell being perhaps my only exception to that.

I don’t remember right (I’m actually using a custom darkish gummy theme, but not dark enough to switch fonts from being black, nor textbox from being white), but I remember I did something like:
body {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
}

in epiphany’s default style sheet.
