I will miss the brown / orange, it has been part of my desktop life all the last years, same with the "we are one" (3 colors of logo / all human beeings). I still think orange/brown could become better than any mac design team ever could design a look ^^. Anyway the new design looks very grown. A new era. One step forward in lifetime :) Hi Mark, I feel a little wistful, like a father when his kids become grown and leave home for studies.

I use Ubuntu every day and it really has changed everything. I loved the new theme when it was announced, it was slick, cool, and beautiful. The only bad comments I have seen repeated over and over focus on the window buttons, but then we heard that this was just a personal preference set by the user who took the screenshots. But now it turns out that actually, the design team has reorganized the buttons *intentionally* by swapping minimize/maximize. Not only completely confusing and frustrating current Ubuntu users, but also users coming from both OSX and Windows. On top of that, it breaks many metacity themes designed for the "normal" ordering. Why? Why change it? Of all the things to reorganize why swap something so fundamental causing users to relearn with no obvious benefit? I'm not bothered about the position of the buttons, I can adjust to the left side pretty easily, but it's much harder to relearn where to click. I can also edit gconf to reorganize it myself, but then the ordering ruins the beautiful new theme that your team has created. To be honest, after spending the last 24 hours ranting and raving to friends and family about how amazing 10.04 is gonna be, I'm gutted and disappointed, I hope that at least the ordering of minimize/maxmize is restored before final release, because it's gonna be a pain when half the Ubuntu users continue to restore the functionality they are used to via gconf, and half the users learn to live the new ordering. :( <strong>Mark Shuttleworth:</strong> I'm supporting the design preference for the window controls on the left. It was not intended, however, that the switch should affect all themes. There are technical means for people to change the control position and order, too. We'll leave the controls on the left for Radiance and Ambiance during the 10.04 Beta 1, and consider changing them based on how that goes.

I reported several bugs which are not even looked up, nobody replied. take launchpad bug tracker, there are bugs which have in [NEW] status for past many months and nobody cared to triage. please focus on improving quality of ubuntu, so 'it just works'! instead of users banging their heads into the wall over annoying bugs Good Luck!
