Are you the main Dev for the Dust theme?

I just feel that it used to be the most polished sleek theme and it has lost a lot of its charm now. Lets be honest with ourselves, Linux/GNOME/GTK+ themes aren't usually the most polished things around, Dust was an exception, so I think it's important not to go backwards :) What about the older Dust borders before it became a community theme installed by default in Ubuntu?

Specifically, why was the glossy progress bar changed? Was it forced upon you or was it choice? The old bar was awesome, not only did it have a gradient, vivid colours but was also animated to make it seem like its going faster (perception :)). The new one isn't even neutral, its just........ugly (sorry :))

I think the older Dust, Dust bordered were both perfect. Dust Sand is still awesome but the window controls could be made more obvious (small glyphs like in Dust normal instead of just radio buttons).

Finally, Dust now seems to occupy less of the Nautilus (and in general GTK apps) toolbar than before (breadcrumbs/location bar not themed anymore), but I'm guessing this was probably a GTK+ change yeah?
