Here are some from another article. It looks really nice.

APT is Getting a Colourful New UI — And It Looks GREAT

I think most of us are familiar with the way APT, the package management tool which unpins Ubuntu and all other Debian-based Linux distributions, looks

OMG! Ubuntu
I love this change, actually, I’m not a boring-text purist. Proper categorizing of data allows me to spot things at a glance much easier, and I’m all in favor of anything that can improve efficiency and understanding, especially for new folks, so we can improve product adoption.
I’m using sid and i’m loving thia change. It’s an obvious visual cue to check if i’m about to remove something important like my whole desktop environment lol
I love it, but as someone with a red-green colour blind coworker, I always try to use blue for positive feedback, and orange for negative, as its better for representation for most colourblind types.
That’s a great callout, and something we should be considering more often
I wish FreeDesktop would standardize CLIs taking their application colours from the user theme so that colourblindness is catered for.
