Icon size does seem different, and, for one, the .zip / tar icon is a
different design as well. Can't decide if I like the new design as I
cannot recall the old on accurately enough!
In case you need to, you can resize the icons in Nautilus:
Edit menu -> preferences -> Icon view defaults. It works immediately
I too feel that Compiz is a wee bit unstable at present - still fun though!

Personally, I did the upgrade. Even though the upgrade worked, I did
have a lot of custom apps / packages on my system which I carried over.
There were a few things that didn't work / look 100% like a fresh
install does. One thing that I have noticed is different is the icon
size. I run my system at 1280 x 1024 so I expect my icons to be a bit
smaller but for some reason, the icons are set to a 32+ size settings.
Apart from that, it does work and function as previous releases. I'm
not too sure about the compiz though. While I like the effects, I seen
issues where some of the menus are not displayed the way that it should
be and I couldn't find a quick way to make it work (apart from turning
off the Desktop effects).

Subject: Re: [Peterboro] Update Ubuntu 7.10
Hello there and welcome!
I upgraded yesterday and it all went smoothly!
This new version has Compiz - Wobbly windows etc - on by default. I do
not think it is as stable as Beryl was on the previous version. It
occasionally looses the red bars at teh top of windows along with the
menu bar!
I have to shut down all running apps, and restart the X server!
A backup is a good idea!

my terrible English. The reason why i use this group is because in
Holland is Linux not so a live as in GB. If there are further
questions i will answer them.
But now to the point in my update manager form Ubuntu i have had the
message for updating to Ubuntu 7.10 are there people on the other side
of the see they can tell me there experience about it. Is it use full
to make a backup of the data?
Regards Gosse
