    edit bodhi.zazen: please do not post such large screenshots, use thumbnails.

    Personally, I use KDE. And keep Gnome for no good reason; with the hardy wallpaper.

    I do not think the new wallpapers look anything like Vista's. The new default wallpaper has a more professional look. The Ubuntu artwork team is creating artwork for this release that is exceeding my expectations.

    Joe_Bishop--I request you not abuse people with your overbearing opinions. If you do not like themes or other aspects of ubuntu--discuss them in a polite manner---I know the designer of the new GDM myself & I consider your remarks to be trollish & not in keeping with a "constructive" dialog on this thread.

    Your opinion is not the only one that counts.

    We are in need of a moderator here. This thread has declined into state that nobody gains anything. There is no reason for anyone to berate any other poster. Tastes are different for many reasons and deriding the posters for those differences does not help. The reason I came to Ubuntu is that the forums were helpful to the users and not rude to anyone regardless of the abilities or differences of the users. Ubuntu is configurable and can be changed to suite the user's individual tastes. Let's keep it civil.


    Thanks Autocrosser for your comments.

    I am reviewing this thread, but it is obvious from the beginning it belongs in recurring discussions.
    There are two mistakes one can make along the road to truth...not going all the way, and not starting.

    Hey!!! Watch it!!! I could take exception to that!

    Thank you autocrosser

    Edit bodhi.zazen:

    I see I missed a few things on my first pass, I think I got it all, but I chose to edit out the inappropriate quote on this post rather then jailing it.
