Maintenance: Ubuntu Brainstorm will be down for maintenance Friday morning GMT for a few hours. Thanks for your understanding.]]> en-us Fri, 09-Jan-2009 00:00:00 UTC Fri, 09-Jan-2009 00:00:00 UTC QAPoll module http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/13740/

I imagine that it's too late to include them... BUT AT LEAST, include its new beautiful wallpapers, to TRY TO SAVE this release...

--------------------INCLUE THEM BY DEFAULT--------------------

Since, at least for what I've seen in Alpha 6, is almost Hardy with a different name.

EDIT: Is sad to realize Dev's still DON'T GET IT.

I know that Intrepid will be released in 15 days, but I think there aren't going to be a lot of crazy bugs to be fixed in "only" 15 days by developers if this program gets upgraded in Ubuntu repositories!

Think about that and let's do this now, instead of waiting more six months (Ubuntu 9.04) just to get this great program by default... you know, if more good programs comes by default, more the newbies and veterans will like!

I worry with everyone clambering for this mythical theme and with time running out before 8.10 ships, what will end up happening is Ubuntu will ship with the same old problematic brown and orange theme that is so hated by a lot of people.

There is a solution though...

The Dust theme
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Intrepid/DustTheme

The Dust theme has gotten a lot of praises on Digg and is easily as sexy as anything I've personally seen for Linux (and I'm not usually a fan of dark themes), bust most promising of all... is actually possible with the current technology we have at our disposal.

It's time to be bold! Stop defaulting to the same brown and orange and make a big bold change. Embrace Dust.

Yes you will get a few idiots who will say it's too like Vista just because it's black, but ignore them people. The wider tech community will praise Ubuntu for finally ditching its dorky themes and becoming sophisticated and sexy. New users will be eager to try out this Ubuntu thing they have heard so much about.
