Ubuntu 8.10: Compuz-Fusion Cube Deformation

,----[ Quote ]
| It’s neat eye candy like this that attracts attention, but it’s performance 
| and reliability that attracts users. What impresses me is that I can have all 
| of this eye candy and all of the software that I need running at any given 
| moment and still only be using ~600mb of ram!

The Ubuntu Look Can be Changed, but Linux CAN NOT have a “Look”.

,----[ Quote ]
| Oh I get it, if GNU/Linux can’t make the user drool when he sees a Linux 
| desktop, we’ll never get a large userbase. Here’s what I think; let’s not 
| teach people to recognize Linux, but let’s teach people to recognize 
| something that works as Linux.   
| 
| Lots of people are still complaining about the default Ubuntu theme and while 
| I congratulate the artists that brought us Hardy Heron (really, making brown 
| and orange and beige almost attractive is quite a feat), aside from the 
| background and a few Wm tweaks here & there, there was nothing new, nothing 
| to ‘Wow‘ the users.

10 Beautiful Themes for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex

,----[ Quote ]
| The upcoming release of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) is highly anticipated not
| only for the system enhancements it will likely get, but also for its new
| default theme. The visual refresh is a long time coming, so I expect the
| Ubuntu artwork team is cooking something good for all of us.
|
| The October release date of Ubuntu 8.10 is fast approaching, yet until now,
| we don’t know exactly what the finished product will look like. I don’t want
| to make any guesses, instead, I decided to collect 10 beautiful existing GTK
| 2.x themes that I think can be further improved or altered and be used as the
| default desktop theme for Intrepid Ibex. Enjoy!
