The significance of the ‘circle of friends’ is reduced in the new ‘light’ theme. Ubuntu website says that “From 2004-2010, the theme in Ubuntu was “Human”. Our tagline was “Linux for Human Beings” and we used a palette reflective of the full range of humanity. Our focus as a project was bringing Linux from the data center into the lives of our friends and global family.”
