Breathe should be further along this weekend as I plan new uploads this weekend. And though I love the new GNOME-Do (Docky) I think *any* kinda launcher (AWN) like this just screams OSX and should be avoided. Droid Sans has been discussed but I think there was a reason for not using it. Something about it's hinting and small sizes I think. > This entire experience including the theme, wallpaper, font, panels, dock, > and compositing manager (Compiz-Fusion) rival the experience of Mac OSX and > Windows 7, which I have installed on another partition.

You may not be part of the audience Microsoft is looking to cater to. :) Personally, I've been rather impressed with the 7 beta. (but that's all off topic) :P Now, I don't mean to be demotivating, but the desktop layout is completely controlled by Canonical and people not on this list. So it might be a bit of a waste of time to go this far. UI layouts and such. But taken separately, like the theme, can sure be of help. -Cory K. -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
