Ubuntu 16.04 Stupendously Hot Charmander concept

[pavl-va]

I like your concept very much. The drop-down bubbles are refreshing, yet not distracting, and the tabs which stick out look actually better than tabs that fit in a window. Since Ubuntu has menu in the top panel I don't see any reason why to keep the navigation bar on top of each window either - good job removing it.

There are, however, a few things I'd change.
- Since there is no border, which is great btw, I would keep the shading of app windows. That way the content of two apps wouldn't seem to merge.
- I like more the current unity log screen.
- Round icons (I know, Ubuntu had them for ages...) in the left panel look too much like Firefox OS, which I am not a fan of. I like this icon concept way better http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/02/u...-icon-requests.
- The navigation buttons should stay on left.

Keep it up. I hope to see this theme in the next distribution.

Looks clean and neat to me. I might consider installing this when 16.04 comes along if it is available.
Thanks

The sign in page in the second picture looks way too much like Windows 10. Just a thought.

The login screen may look like Windows 10, but that doesn't mean it is a bad thing either (I kinda like the Windows 10 login screen and some of their styling).

I think it looks clean and stylish which are both important. Functionality would be determined beyond the mock-up phase for sure. Aesthetically I'm not sure whether the spilled over tab would drive me nuts. It's still clever. I guess this isn't a universal menu friendly feature anyway. Keep on keeping on! : )

I agree with your thoughts, including the spill-over-tabs.

If this was a packaged theme I may be willing to install it and give it a try. Right now I do use a flat icon set and wallch to change my wallpaper every so often and that is fine by me. The flat design doesn't bother me and when I was using Plasma 5 I kinda liked it.

Great thing is, there is the choice... you use what you like, I use what I like and everybody is happy and moves along...

This is an extremely refreshing design IMO, and something that would make me consider switching back from Xubuntu again, after having lived in exile for the last couple of years* Great job!

* Reason: I simply can't stand those "half-gloss" icons. Even worse, the way they fold away in the bottom like cheap "2D 3D" ... brrr ...

Interesting

However ...

Adobe Design Tools? Seriously?

Had you used the abundant and equally powerful linux design tools (sudo apt install ubuntustudio-graphics) I would totally endorse the concept.

[dany-notonegoro]

That's a nice concept. But, I agree that it's looks like a rip off from windows 10. Maybe if you could redesign it more so it would like an Ubuntu with flat design (not a windows 10 rip off), I think it's fine to have an option to use one and to be able to choose it directly from setting menu on Ubuntu system. Ubuntu is open environtment, user always have an option to use or not to use. And everyone has the equal right to speak their own opinion, their idea, and their creativity. Through diversity, the community continues to grow.


Regards, and good luck.

I agree, opinions are welcome.
I have a hard time however with the window 10 ripoff accusations. As if it were a bad thing ?

We have to admit that when it comes to UI, in terms of consistency, looks and ergonomics, both windows and mac are ahead.
Now I am all for open source software, but I wish the Ubuntu community would actually consider accepting somes ideas, be it from microsoft or others.
Also, please, how does using Adobe software represents a problem in the proposition here ?

Alternative: ignore windows as if it were the devil, but windows itself will not ignore the linux community; it has started a charm offensive and will take back some more hardcore users (bash, visual studio initiatives).

On the subject at hand: can we easily install the design on the new 16.04 ? That, I'll embrace wholeheartedly.
Full disclosure: I want to stay on ubuntu and open source software. Please be more progressive when it comes to UI.

I love it! Quite similar to Window 10 in some way, like the opacity of options.
