A piece from the thematic "Metacity Impression" ...


I don't dislike this Metacity at moment, but it would be a general laugh
about our poor imagination and copy stuffs from other systems.
Somebody wrote something about KDE-buttons ... I dislike them much! ;)

Here I send you a sketch how to fusion circle and quadrants with the
effect you can read "UbuNtU"!!! on it :D

Hope it can be useful ... :)
