Certainly a marked improvement.

Certainly a marked improvement.

Agreed. It reminds me of the aurora.

Certainly a marked improvement.
Certainly better than Lucid's. Still vast room for improvement there...

[speedwell68]

I can't say I dislike it, but I can't say I like it either. I always change the stock wallpaper anyway.

[Tibuda]

a lot better than the first preview...

[fillintheblanks]

Who cares. They will end up changing it for 11.04 anyway

[Frogs Hair]

Better, thats for sure.

[Paul820]

It's better but still a mass bunch of blurry colours. I'm using this one at the moment with the ambiance theme and faenza icons. There are some decent images being bundled with 10.10.

[vexorian]

It is a rip off.

I favor originality more. Hardy and Ibex were the last good wallpapers :)

[Ozor Mox]

Definitely better than the other one, which was terrible. Just ok though, compared with Fedora's default wallpaper which is really nice.

Hardy is still the best default wallpaper in my opinion by a long shot. Having an animal codename for each release means not making a default wallpaper based on it seems like a wasted opportunity! Wish they'd start doing that again.

[Blackra1n]

Good. :D

[kaldor]

Much better, but still has the damn blur effect... I hate blur!

But this is tolerable.

[ubunterooster]

Agreed, the blur is annoying to me. But it's easily changed so it's no showstopper.

[FuturePilot]

I like the other one better. This one gives me the feeling of looking directly in to the sun. Talk about distracting. The orange dots have nothing on this.

[Simian Man]

It's blurry and has too much contrast. But at least it isn't the joke the last one was.

[ctrlmd]

No! [-(
sorry for been honest i don't see anything artistic about the wallpaper
its better than the first one but its still blurry non comfortable for the eyes and ugly
i would change it immediately

My eyes burn everytime I hit the login screen. Sometimes I use the computer in the dark, and it really is too bright.

[Old Marcus]

Then you shouldn't be using the computer in the dark anyway. That's what lights are for. :P

[malspa]

I figured that there would be almost as many complaints about the new wallpaper as the old wallpaper. Not many things Linux folks love to complain about more than Ubuntu's default artwork.

[MasterNetra]

No, but its a improvement over both Lucid's default & the original proposed one for Maverick.

[phrostbyte]

I think it's great! Ubuntu is really becoming a beautiful OS - by default.

[98cwitr]

im tired of the femininity of Ubuntu's theme choices lately :?

[yahoo]

The latest wallpapers are boring. I always change to some of my own.

[spupy]

Oh My God! Double rainbow! So intense! What does it meeean?

[koleoptero]

Fixed that for you.

That said I'd say that there is indeed too much fuss about what the default wallpaper is. I'm with kmandla (http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2010/09/15/ubuntu-10-10-default-wallpaper-is-here/) on this topic.

[chriswyatt]

Nice. Still a bit too bright for my tastes though, everyone's got different tastes so you can't make a wallpaper that's gonna please everyone.

I'd prefer something a bit darker with more sort of natural colours, I find this one a little overpowering.

Better than that other one with those big ugly orange blobs though.

[Naiki Muliaina]

Better though I would prefer it if the orange was purple and the purple was orange ;)

[ratcheer]

I liked the one right before this latest one. The one with the deeper orange spots added to the Lucid one.

But, I also agree with those who say it is too much fuss over nothing. How many of us actually stick with an OS's default wallpaper, anyway?
