Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex Alpha 1 – One More Reason to Switch to Debian
This is what the first alpha version of Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex will look like. The 8.10 version of Ubuntu GNU/Linux won’t be a long-term support version, so Canonical will get a chance to test-drive some new features. Aside from the updated GNOME 2.24.0 and a new kernel version, kernel 2.6.26, the most notable feature currently is the long-awaited theme change. In the screenshots currently published on the Interwebz I can only see lots and lots of brown and I’m not liking it at all. How about you?
Guess what? You can change the theme rather easily. I do agree that this theme is horrible, but I don’t mind the regular Ubuntu theme. I don’t even know what Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex is. Sounds retarded, like Neon Genesis Evangelion. Let’s put a bunch of long words together! It sounds cool!
Yes, but think: this is the theme new users are gonna see first.
They made the new dark theme default so they will get as much feedback as possible on it. It will not be the default in the final version.
Guess what? They said they’ll be testing several themes. This is one of them. It’s an Alpha.
Switch when it’s out.
It’s for the developers to test there applications for dark themes. Some people like dark themes and some apps don’t work well with the dark. This will not be the final color…. I can guarantee it! It’s just to let the developers to know that some of their features look like crap or don’t work well with dark themes.
Are you arguing about an alpha theme? =) Jeez.
