- LostOverThere, on 10/12/2008, -2/+25*Slaps Forehead*
Does anyone think this article just plain sucks? I mean really, the author didn't even seem to know the original dark theme was for testing and he acted like canonical hiring designers a rumour. It's been announced on Kwwii's (Canonical Employee) and Mark's blog for god sake. - simpleboy, on 10/11/2008, -3/+25http://www.quicktweaks.com/2008/10/05/the-wallpape ... has already covered the probable wallpapers that could make their ways to Ubuntu 8.10 final
- itsradBrad, on 10/12/2008, -1/+20Wow, you are uncomfortably energetic!
- compacho, on 10/11/2008, -5/+24Getting better, but not great.
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -7/+26To be honest, I kinda like it. I liked the default wallpaper for Hardy Heron. This is in the same vein, and I'd like to see more.
Go ahead, digg me down. - TremorX, on 10/12/2008, -1/+19Ubuntu has new wallpaper EVERY DAY if you change it!!!
- MyNameIsGusto, on 10/12/2008, -0/+17Looks great on Vista, thanks!
- Vadi0, on 10/11/2008, -2/+18yes yes yes the dots are gone
- fatas, on 10/12/2008, -5/+21So this was the big major "Theme Upgrade" they were working on
- mynameistux, on 10/12/2008, -3/+18he probably comes from a windows family, where the only theme related thing that has more than 3 options, IS the wallpaper.
- demonred, on 10/12/2008, -0/+15Yeah, it really is too intense for the average Linux user. A majority of them have no idea what art is and would rather look at some glowy 3D thing than something that has some artistic merit. Excuse me for being cynical, but comments like these are really starting to piss me off. You have no idea what graphic design is, and apparently, you don't even know what a goat looks like. Congrats.
- grav3k33p3r, on 10/12/2008, -1/+14I actually liked the last wallpaper. At first glance, I thought it was a bird and I looked ibex on wikipedia, and it is apparently a goat.
- christopherRB, on 10/11/2008, -8/+21at first, I thought it was a guy with a big nose.
- lordtyros, on 10/12/2008, -2/+14What? The guy in the fifteen hundred dollar suit is going to digg responsibly? Come on!!
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -2/+14absolutely nothing
- Joudoki, on 10/12/2008, -3/+13I hear it also comes with AOL 10.0
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -1/+11Ugh, brown and orange again... so dreary. Ubuntu is great but the first thing I do is change the wallpaper.
- ZombieSociety, on 10/12/2008, -1/+11Wallpaper.
...stop the presses. - picpak, on 10/12/2008, -1/+11Looks like spilt coffee...
- gilbert2048, on 10/12/2008, -6/+15real man no use ubuntu
- Anton2006, on 10/12/2008, -0/+9If I use this wallpaper on my windows PC, is that cheating ?
- AaronMT, on 10/12/2008, -2/+11Hoping for a surprise of the new theme revealed on day of release.
- OCPaul, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8let me guess u use a GUI browser? loL
- angryfirelord, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8http://farm1.static.flickr.com/155/432713391_58d8b ...
- Lewie, on 10/12/2008, -1/+9Or trees/wood. Soil/earth. Animal fur. There's lots of brown in nature.
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -15/+23***** smeared on a wall?
- mynameistux, on 10/12/2008, -0/+8works for me.
- MrTea, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7real men use digg with telnet
- Dylson, on 10/12/2008, -2/+9THIS is news?
- inactive, on 10/12/2008, -7/+14real man use console not desktop!
- Wackoman, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7i think it should have been called Insolent Iguana myself.
- RubberBinder, on 10/12/2008, -0/+7I prefer Illegal Immigrant.
- dhughes, on 10/12/2008, -1/+8@pogoyogo People are born everyday, it takes time to grow up and learn about things.
- mynameistux, on 10/12/2008, -2/+9jesus, just change it, brown is a great colour, if not missused, where you think *****, I think coffee.
- chaoswings, on 10/12/2008, -2/+8***** on a large piece of paper. Now you can have your very own wallpaper and it's life size to boot!
Honestly though this was a major step back from Hardy Heron's wallpaper - huff51, on 10/12/2008, -2/+8i believe it is called a wallpaper
- Tenoq, on 10/12/2008, -0/+6Don't worry, Vista doesn't do surround sound for me either. (Bring back DirectSound, kthx).
- Ymeg, on 10/12/2008, -1/+7I don't know anything about Linux =! I don't know what Linux is.
- lordmorgul, on 10/12/2008, -0/+6Real men use telnet via ssh.
- TeacherOfHeroes, on 10/12/2008, -1/+7You can install a lot of visual styles in windows, but you have to replace uxtheme.dll with a cracked version that doesn't mandate that all themes be digitally signed by microsoft. This is why you have to use something that either
* performs an in-memory patch every time the dll is loaded (styleXP, i think windowblinds does this now, too)
* replaces the dll directly (UXTheme Multi-Patcher - windows will make a fuss about it being replaced with an unclean, heathen version, but you can ignore it)
Either way, its a lot more work than just going to the appearances dialogue and clicking on a new theme... - BlackJacket, on 10/12/2008, -0/+5This actually IS what I expected when I saw Ubuntu 8.10 and wallpaper in the heading. I think its strange how people get excited over this stuff. I don't know too many people that use the default wallpaper that comes with their operating system anyway.
Its okay, I guess. But its not anything to be excited about and certainly shouldn't be a top story. It might not even make the final cut.. Actually, the community is slipping a bit with stories like this. I'd rather read Mac Fanboys go on about aluminum macbooks. - Tenoq, on 10/12/2008, -0/+5More DOTS.
- mynameistux, on 10/12/2008, -2/+7nope, well, I assumed you could if you ***** around with the registery, and installed a bunch of extra programs.
