    Re: YUCK! the intrepid ibex default wallpaper :(

    @People who dont like it: Change it when it is released, or if you are cool, go help the Art team

    @People wanting a complete redesign: Please talk to the art team about helping out in any way you can.

    @People who like it/are sensible enough not too care because they will just change it anyway: Good on you!

    I'm not so good with Ubuntu, I take 15 seconds to do it. That is a pain.
    And, otherwise, Ubuntu is shown everywhere with that theme.

    Its not the point on how quick it is to change it, nor that we have the CHOICE to change it. (and not that we are owed the RIGHT to have it changed) it is just gonna be really nice to see what the Art team really have up their sleeve thats all. There was a lot of hype when it was announced that hardy was gonna have a revamp

    We are perfectly aware that you are able to change the desktop wallpaper, but it is about making a good first impression is it not? Like someone posted, there is a beautiful wallpaper roaming the Art team maillist that most have said they preferred. So it is not choices that is the problem. God knows what it is.

    Normal people pick from the looks, wouldn't we like to appeal to them?

    Then take the second part of my quote into account. Go and tell the art team mailing list you prefer it. The more people do that, the more it is likely to change.

    (Sorry if im sounding like a d*ck, just as an Ubuntu developer it can get pretty annoying reading people whinging about things not working, but not actually even trying to help get them fixed)

    Are the devs not reading the forums like you? Its quite thick with threads in here with opinions about the new wallpaper.

    No, most devs just idle on IRC and read mailing lists. Most of them are too busy with real life + ubuntu + any other oss stuff they do to browse the forums. It would be much handier if a lot more of the devs browsed here to get the general feeling of the masses, but other than appoint someone to ferry information between the forums and the core developers, there isnt a great deal we can do.

    Im sure if more devs + desktop team + art team browsed here, the wallpaper would be changed extremely quickly!
