Hi all,

I have a few changes in mind for the desktop appearance for the upcoming
version of Ubuntu GNOME.

    - Ditch *Cantarell*. Cantarell, our default font, is a good typeface,
    but it's not completely localisated (i.e., it's not available for all
    alphabets) and it has legibility problems on small sizes (personally I
    think <13pt). I truly belive *we should ship Driod Sans*. It's available
    on the official repositories (*fonts-droid*) and it also offers a
    mono-spaced version (which should be used in the terminal as well). Using
    Droid Sans will allow us to ship a consistent desktop experience
    independently of the installation language.


    - *New default wallpaper*. Some people don't like very much the GNOME
    Foot wallpaper. It's dark and it also somehow hides at first sight GNOME
    Shell. With a more colourful wallpaper, the top bar will look more
    prominent. This is what I have in mind
    http://www.deviantart.com/art/GNOME-Mesh-414786193. I have talked with
    Reda and he's fine about us using it.

Now, both changes are quite easy to implement. The counterpart is that
GNOME Shell would require to patch the font in the *.css* file.

*What do you think about this proposal?*

The wallpaper looks amazing, and I think that the wallpaper hiding under the shell is an issue that applies to other backgrounds as well. You have a +1 for the wallpaper.
