_Originally created by @sajolida on [#11789 (Redmine)](https://public-redmine-archive.tails.boum.org/code/issues/11789)_ In Tails 2.0 we have a grey theme from GNOME Classic. The default GNOME theme is black and I think it looks more modern (which I could argue is important for a state-of-the-art security tool). Changing the look could also mark the occasion and visibilize that we’re doing shitloads of work. For 2.0 I raised my concern too late (https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/7557#note_101047) but I’m now reading in <https://tails.boum.org/contribute/reports/SponsorS/2015/2016_08/#index4h2> that screenshots are being removed from the test suite, so maybe switching too black for 3.0 would not require much work. It could even be now the time to discuss this… But hey, developers, take it easy :) (I will) So, how hard would it be to switch to the default black theme for 3.0? This would be replacing GNOME Classic with GNOME Shell with its default theme + Applications menu + Places status indicator + Window list.
