"Welcome to Gutsy Gibbon Tribe 1 [screenshots], which will in time become Ubuntu 7.10. Tribe 1 is the first in a series of milestone CD images that will be released throughout the Gutsy development cycle. The primary changes from Feisty have been the re-merging of changes from Debian. Common to all variants, we have upgraded the kernel to 2.6.22." On a related note, Ubuntu has released more details on its version for mobile devices.

I don't see the point in screenshots in these articles either. Stock GNOME is always stock GNOME 
maybe they change colorscheme(wich they did'nt:)), but is it worth a whole series of screenshots? ONE reason would be if they put in some nice GUI tools they want to show off, but most often it is the usual, with the clean desktop, some dialog, some OO.o shots, a firefox/konqi web-browsing shot.. same with KDE distros as well, this was not a rant on only GNOME distros

Yeah, that's what I mean. If there's nothing especially new in terms of GUI appearance, screenshots are kinda pointless. And frankly, they get my hopes up!
Afterall, nobody loves new GUI eye candy more than me!

This is what I was thinking about, a while back. Especially that the colors are dull. I hope Ubuntu changes these colors to something more catchy, like dark brown and sand instead of light brown and grey.

I like "warm and earthy". But I've never really thought that the brown themes worked all that well. Brown is a very difficult color to work with. While color variation depending upon monitor, brightness and contrast settings, etc. are always an issue... brown is in a class by itself when it comes to such variations. On your monitor, it may be a beautiful "chocolate", whereas on mine it may look like baby feces.
I use the "Outdoors" theme, which is based upon Ubuntu's "Human" theme, but is a green theme rather than a brown one. I combine it with a nice backdrop from Olympic National Park to very nice effect.

It looks just like 7.04, which didn't look that different than 6.10. I've always wondered that with Linux in general; they show dozens of screenshots when a new version is released. But when it's using a tiny revision of the WM, what's the point?
Certainly there's a lot that goes into a new release, but often it's mostly behind the scenes.
