Ubuntu as main dist that adopts gnome as default will get involved in this project sooner or later. So let's start contributing.

it would be nice having it in futures versions of open office what do you think?

Try it and see! I think this might be an acceptable default, or at least some kind of option during install ("which of these sample boxes is readable to you?"). I, for one, wish I would have thought to do this a long time ago, as it's like having a bigger monitor.

But I think it would be great if a couple of the more user oriented apps (like the default media players) had more bling and wow factor.

The default movie and music players for a start. I would for instance like to see something more like songbird (which is still in beta unfortunately) take the place of rhythmbox.

If we could give totem a shiny new skin with different button layouts, etc. We could make the whole new ubuntu experience seem cooler.

For example, LXDE appeared as GTK-based targeted on more limited machines.

Would be interesting seeing some LXDE-like window manager made on QT4 libraries, to show us how simple, fast and small can be it possible. This can be a very interesting challenge for QT4 and KDE4 developers.

About a name, what about LQTDE? =)

If you're voting -1, please explain why.

Also, a checkbox option to create a thumbnail image file along with the screenshot (say, 160 x 128 or user-configurable) would be hugely beneficial and could be saved with a simple "_thumb" extension to the filename, eg:

Screenshot.png
Screenshot_thumb.png

Would save many minutes of work for those who do lots of illustrated documentation sites!

I think is great to have brand-new packages but being more patient everything would be more stable.
I don't mean as "stable" as, for instance, Debian stable but just a little bit.

Thanks

One is when mounting and using windows partitions, viruses could spread. The other is, VirtualBox can run a windows os, hence letting in viruses. F-Prot is a no hassle antivirus, free for single users. Updates regularly too.

but yeah, we have a tabbed text editor, and web browser, so why not a tabbed pdf viewer?

Update:
"x2go" looks pretty interesting: http://x2go.berlios.de/index-en.html
It uses the NX libs and they also provide a client for Windows. But I have not tested it (yet).

They use the red hat liberation fonts by default and OMG It looks amazing.


The default ubuntu fonts are painful to look at once you know how good it can look.

Ubufox may be an exception due to its nature though.

(KDE4 has much more features than Gnome, it is faster and looks better (my oppinion). Also it uses the powerful Qt4 as widgetset that is better than GTK+ at time. Gnome is going to leave behind KDE)
[edit] I dont't say that any DE is better, but Gnome needs help and Ubuntu primary uses Gnome. KDE4 is a great DE without help from the Ubuntu developers. [/edit]
