    You can remove the package light-themes in Ubuntu 11.10 to get right of these two themes.

    As per the package description:

     Light Themes (Ambiance and Radiance)
 Includes matching Ambiance and Radiance themes

 * Ambiance is a light-on-dark theme
 * Radiance is a dark-on-light theme

 Introduced as the default themes in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

    WARNING:

    If you remove this package, please do it at your own risk. This will remove the ubuntu-desktop metapackage which is useful for updating from one 11.10 to 12.04

    Geeky details:

    manish@Blackbeast:~$  aptitude why light-themes
i   ubuntu-artwork Depends light-themes
manish@Blackbeast:~$ aptitude why ubuntu-artwork
i   ubuntu-desktop Depends ubuntu-artwork
