This is a short review of Picasa running on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The application does not run natively, it runs through Windows emulation. As a result you see windows as you would see Windows. It implies that the application appearance totally ignores the desktop settings in general, and accessibility colors in particular. That is a big shame again, Google! Again, because Google consistently ignores user color preferences throughout all their products. I can't imagine Google has no knowledge nor resources to deliver a proper cross- platform application, You are far better off running Picasa Windows on linux using the free VirtualBox.
For potential Picasa linux users: try F-spot first, it is a free photo management application. It installs as an Ubuntu package, runs natively on your desktop and publishes photos to a range of web services (including Picasa Web). As a linux user you natively have Gimp and ImageMagick, by far superseding any editing capabilities of Picasa anyway.
