Star Top 5 New Features of Ubuntu 8.10 Interpid Ibex
Linked by Eugenia Loli-Queru on Sat 5th Jul 2008 22:07 UTC
Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu As the Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) development gets going, many people will probably be wondering what new end-user features they can expect. This article lists the top 5 new features. My Take: Nothing really exciting. I still shiver over the inability of the default Totem installation not de-interlacing my camcomder-derived home videos and DVDs because GStreamer doesn't support it, or no full A/V support on Pidgin yet, or something as simple as this which I've been asking for years now and it would probably take 5 minutes to implement.

That makes no sense what-so-ever. I don't see why it needs to be a theme colour, there is a very simple solution for it, just have a semi-transparent gray overlay when the background is light and semi-transparent white overlay when the background is dark. This is a simple solution that will work with any theme, probably not 5 minutes but I doubt it would be an hours work. Stop making excuses, the developer is obviously lazy ;)

I hope that was supposed to be a joke? Either that or you have no idea about what you're talking about.
