I'm sorry but I have to agree with the others on this one. The ubuntu name is visibly aliased with the round bottoms of the u's and b's completely cut off. There's also a lot of aliasing in the logo - the glow does not smoothly blend in with the colors, this is also apparent in the name - the black shapes which form the letters do not blend smoothly into the glow, instead it's a harsh contrast between the letters and the glow. I really started to love the old bootsplash, it's really amazing considering the limitations on the graphics format for bootsplash images.

Public bug reported: Affects: ubuntu-artwork (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Confirmed Description: While downloading a file and tracking its progress in the downloads dialog, the progress bar is not always drawn correctly when selecting and deselecting the download. Especially when downloading multiple files this bug becomes apparent. To reproduce: - Download multiple larger files (for instance some kernel source tarballs) and open the downloads dialog. - Wait until at least one of the files is at 10% complete. - Now click on each of the downloads, selecting a different one each time, while doing this, observe how the progress bar drawing seems to shift horizontally. I will attach a screenshot showing the problem with one file being downloaded. By clicking on the download itself and alternating between the empty space to deselect it, I was able to document the behaviour. This bug is cosmetical, but it just feels wrong to have the progress bar shift forwards and backwards, especially when downloading multiple files.

[Bug 38968] Change splash image (reuse Breezy)
Public bug reported: Affects: gimp (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Unconfirmed Description: First of all, my sincere apologies if this bug / wish is out of place. GIMP's splash screen in Dapper feels rather unpolished compared to the one found in Breezy (will attach a comparison shortly). This is not strictly a bug in Dapper, but in my opinion a rather poor choice upstream. My suggestion would be to reuse the Breezy splash screen in Dapper, I'll elaborate a bit more on why I'm proposing this change. The current Dapper splash screen is the result of a competition set up by the GIMP Team celebrating the tenth anniversary of the program. I followed this contest from the start and I feel that none of the entries matches the elegance and polish displayed by the current splash screen in Breezy. Especially the winner, and thus the current splash, lacks in a few departments: - The GIMP title text is barely legible due to the font, shadow and bordering - Legibility gets worse for the color blind, try using the Deuteranopia display filter on the new splash, it becomes one big washed out gray area - A rusty dial doesn't instill confidence or inspire creativity - The green color doesn't match any element in the Dapper theme and feels out of place The current Breezy splash offers the following advantages: - The orange base color blends in perfectly in the new Ubuntulooks theme and the overall appearance of the desktop environment - The GIMP name is sharp and has a good contrast compared to the white background - The pencils are appropriately themed and (for me) do inspire creativity - The white background makes the splash screen uplifting and clean instead of depressing (the green in the new one is kind of dark) - The version number doesn't list the minor release so it could be reused without any further changes To rehash: I would feel that the Ubuntu Dapper release would benefit greatly by reverting a bad aesthetical choice upstream. I haven't held a popularity contest or something, but I hope I've been able to convey my thoughts and feelings on this subject with a solid list of arguments. If the Breezy splash is not an option, the Dapper example content also provides a GIMP splash screen which looks better than the current Dapper one. Look for this one in the Examples folder in your home directory on Dapper. All of the above is purely subjective and represents my view on the subject, please take this in consideration. -- Change splash image (reuse Breezy) https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/38968 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
