    The Dell bar probably isn't free I think, and isn't something most people would want (it really doesn't fit).

    That looks incredibly ugly.

    1. The wallpaper is pretty nice; I will admit that.
    2. White and orange. Just... no.
    3. The Dell bar thing does not look clean. It looks clunky and is in the way.
    4. The font Sans has got to be the worst idea for a default font ever.
    5. Human icons are way too cartoony to be taken seriously.

    Well, no more than Ubuntu does normally (I am not a fan of the default look, but I don't complain about defaults if they are easily changed).

    Also, it can be customised, you can easily switch it to the default Ubuntu look:

    Wall paper (something I normally don't have, I usually have plain black background for GNOME and whatever is the default in xmonad or wmii) is ok. Dell bar is awkward. It doesn't fit. It isn't "in the way", really, except visually.

    Change the font (Sans serif fonts are better for screens though).

    Human icons are consistant.

    For some reason, no. When I first saw it, I thought it could be collapsed (like kde's bar). It can't. I then thought it could be moved. It can't (right clicking on it is the same as right clicking on the desktop). It is awkwardly stuck there, however, the default Ubuntu look and its ability to be customised is still there in full.

    I like the wallpaper.

    I agree to the person I saw who had one, I would go with converting it to the base Ubuntu setup (not the Dell version).
