Of course not, when did I say that? I'm comparing the current situation with previous ones about wallpapers that also included blogs, and I'm also considering the size of the bug report. That said, I do admit that the popularity boom of OMG inevitably brings some bias. However, whether it should be considered representative of the Ubuntu community or not is not my main point: I merely wanted to know if the design team had something to share concerning the decision process. Like it happened with the window buttons, once again we have a significative design decision pushed on the brink of the UI freeze, without explanations or even making clear whether it's final or not. This is annoying for documentation people and leaves doubts whether there is a point in having a UI freeze at all. Vish, I agree completely with your comments on the report about the need for objectivity and arguments instead of subjective opinions. But that goes both ways: if there are arguments *in favor* of the wallpaper, why not share them before or at least not very much after it was introduced? This is working very well for the Application Menu and the new font. Isn't Ubuntu a meritocracy? Properly introducing the reasons of something new is necessary to judge its merits. Please, I don't want to turn this into a discussion about OMG. I even reverted the subject title change. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
