Why Window Button Placement Doesnât Matter by
,----[ Quote ]
| The default positioning of window-
| management buttons in Ubuntu 10.04 has
| generated a lot of controversy. But given
| the decreasing importance of these buttons
| in modern desktop environments, Iâm left
| wondering if the issue is really so
| important. In a year or two, after all,
| window titlebars may be a thing of the
| past.

A Brief History of Brown: Ubuntu Feature Timeline
,----[ Quote ]
| The current stable release, as of this
| writing, and soon to be replaced by Lucid
| Lynx. Karmic brought us ext4 as the default
| filesystem, the first look at the Ubuntu
| Software Center, and the somewhat
| controversial GRUB2. Not to be left out of
| the cloud computing craze, Karmic shipped
| with Ubuntu One personal cloud service, and
| the Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud Images.

Ubuntu 10.04 Radiance and Ambiance Themes for Google Chrome
,----[ Quote ]
| But those already employing the upcoming
| Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx are in luck, as
| they now have a couple of Google Chrome
| themes for both the "light" and the "dark"
| versions of Ubuntu's visual revamp. And the
| best part is that they're both available in
| Google's own online gallery.

Ubuntu Without a Human Face
,----[ Quote ]
| The big news out of the Ubuntu world this
| month is the radically refurbished look
| introduced to accompany Lucid when itâs
| released in April, replacing the orange-
| brown âHumanâ theme that Ubuntu users have
| known and lovedâor notâsince 2004. Hereâ s
| a look at the new face of Ubuntu, with an
| attempt at abstract thoughts related to it.
|
| Ubuntuâs traditional theme never enjoyed
| universal acceptance. For some users,
| earth tones just didnât look right on an
| LCD display. For others, there wasnât
| enough contrast between colors.

Ubuntu 10.04 To Hang Onto Old Intel Driver
,----[ Quote ]
| With Ubuntu 10.04 being a Long-Term Support
| (LTS) release, Canonical is just going to
| stick with Lucid Lynx being the last release
| where Intel user-space mode-setting is
| supported, albeit for most Intel users you
| will still be greeted by a KMS experience,
| just with an older driver and many back-
| ported patches. This decision was shared on
| the ubuntu-x mailing list.

Ubuntu 10.04 Gets New Logout Dialogues
,----[ Quote ]
| Did you ever get annoyed by the
| restart/logout/shutdown countdown timers
| that presented themselves in previous Ubuntu
| releases?
|
| [...]
|
| All three main 'session' dialogues have been
| reworded thus allowing the user to make an
| informed choice as to whether the action
| selected it the one they want.
