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.
