Ubuntu 9.04's New Boot Splash
,----[ Quote ]
| After the new themes introduced yesterday, Canonical decided to update the
| boot splash screen (USplash) theme with a very nice one. As you can see in
| the image below, the logo is the same as it was in Ubuntu 8.10, but it's
| smaller and the loading bar was replaced with a thinner and nicer one (see
| the video below for more details). Softpedia is once again the first website
| to offer you a preview of the new artwork, which will probably be present in
| the final release of Ubuntu 9.04.

One Last Hurrah For USplash: A New Theme
,----[ Quote ]
| Pushed into the Jaunty repository this morning for Ubuntu 9.04 was a new
| theme for USplash. This Canonical project for providing a splash screen at
| boot-up on Ubuntu is being replaced by Plymouth with Ubuntu 9.10 (the Karmic
| Koala release), but there is a new Ubuntu theme as one last hurrah. This new
| USplash theme has a fixed-size Ubuntu logo centered in the middle of the
| display and a new progress bar. From our feelings at least, this new theme
| looks more professional than its predecessor, but it's not exactly a complete
| overhaul. Below is a video of this newly-pushed theme.

Ubuntu 9.04 Has a Brand New Wallpaper
,----[ Quote ]
| After the new login screen, new themes and the new boot splash theme
| introduced the other day, Canonical finally updated the old Ubuntu 8.10
| (Intrepid Ibex) wallpaper with a brand new one. As you can see in the image
| below, there's no more logo as everyone expected... instead, the wallpaper is
| slick, simple and stylish. Softpedia is once again the first website to offer
| you a preview of the new artwork, which will probably be present in the final
| release of Ubuntu 9.04.

Ubuntu 9.10 is Karmic Koala, and it will not be brown!
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu Linux founder Mark Shuttleworth recently announced that the next
| version after "Jaunty Jackalope" is codenamed "Karmic Koala". This ended some
| humorous speculations that Ubuntu 9.10 will be called Kinky Kangaroo.

Universal Writ

| What bothered me was that I used to think that same way till a co-worker
| named Richard wrote me about his thoughts on the subject. I wrote about this
| in part in my "Color Theory" post over at TalkBMC a while ago.
|
| What Richard told me was a simple truth that I had never really considered.
| He was born in Africa, and to him the color palette that he finds attractive
| and restful is different than the ones I do. The posit here then would be
| that at least in part, color preferences are based on your early experiences.
