i totally agree, and i think that everybody is expecting the new theme as well, however this is the ubuntu-art list and if we dont know about this new theme than i dont know who would. we have good and nice community themes. dust is my personal favorite, but it is still very buggy, and many bugs cannot be fixed without the applications developers. the only way it could be implemented is if they would put it in default at the beginning of the next release, so all the developers have 6 months to correct there application interfaces. most of the problems come from the different background and toolbar color btw. > > > Don’t get me wrong, I applaud the effort in killing bugs and bringing > out better software to be included in the next release, but the lack > of a “pretty” interface it isn’t helping the migration of users over > to Linux from Windows or Apple when they are used to certain “eye > candy” on those operating systems and that is all they care about … > Canonical and Ubuntu are missing a trick here in my lowly opinion. > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael > Garate > Sent: 26 September 2008 12:22 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [ubuntu-art] ubuntu-art Digest, Vol 39, Issue 67 > > > > > I'm really disappointed if the new theme has been postponed again. > This is exactly what happened for the hardy release :( > > -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
