Dictionary entry

Best used for: Unifying the Ubuntu desktop, default applications and distribution assets · Adding a distribution identity while remaining compatible with upstream GNOME
Type: Use Ubuntu type and short labels; avoid lettering inside icons.
Composition: Preserve GTK structure, using the dark header and orange focus ring to declare the active window.
Material: Reuse the Suru palette, restrained gradients and translucent dark outlines to keep icons from drifting apart.
Caution: Large overrides of Adwaita collide with application styling. Contain Ubuntu identity in color, headers and iconography instead of restructuring widgets.
Further study: Yaru and upstream Adwaita / Suru icon lineage / Yaru GTK, shell, icon and sound themes
