Ubuntu's new look

Post by Busy_V »

I just thought that I would post this here for all Ubuntu/Linux fans:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-1 ... 6537.shtml

So, what do you guys think about this? ;)

Looks nice to me, although the change doesn't appear to be that drastic.

Damn that's spiffy. But I'm running Ubuntu, and have always preferred KDE over GNOME. Is this look replacing GNOME?

"The new look will also be applied to Ubuntu's derivatives Kubuntu and Xubuntu."
So they've created a theme for KDE too.

Yeah, I definitely might look into it.

And screw all of you KDE haters. I've been using KDE4 for awhile, and I fucking love it. Nothing looks cooler than having a 60" 1080p TV in the living room hooked up to your Kubuntu server to show off the globe/snow/cube special effects. ;)
