The next Ubuntu release is already around the corner. Only two more months, and the next tidal wave of brown 2 paragraph reviews will be upon us. PolishLinux decided that they'd be ahead of the pack, by taking a look at what Ubuntu 8.10 looks like right now, and what new features it brings. Of course, many of these features come from upstream, and will find their way into other distributions as well - or are already there.

Are you high? Really! That mockup was butt ugly. It was horrid, horrific, shockingly repellent, ghastly, grim, grisly, gruesome, hideous, horrid, lurid, macabre. I could describe it as very bad, appalling, awful, dreadful, fearful, frightful, ghastly, horrendous, shocking, terrible. Should I go on? Please don't generalize. Everyone did not like the proposed theme mockup! A theme is highly subjective and it's impossible to please everyone. Nevertheless, Ubuntu has alienated a great number of users with its continued use of orange and brown. Looking at the screen shots from this article I see that the status quo will be maintained for Ibex. Thankfully, the developers of Linux Mint have more sense.

I'm not sure I could pick out *branding* between green and orange. Oddly enough I installed Ubuntu on a girfriends computer she changed the theme to Crux!? and has a picture of Frankie Lampard without his top, added those damn eyes and a fish and just got on with it.
You want real bad defaults she rang me becuase her fonts were not the same as the Microsoft ones in office

They should go in the direction of that famous mockup that "everyone" liked. It was wooden but really stylish.
