This sounds like the change from Alpha 3 to Beta 1. Alpha was brown unless you were like me and put the Lucid theme on Alpha 3. The long update was for Beta 1. <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Apr 6, 2010 at 9:53 AM, Basil Chupin <<a href="mailto:blchupin@iinet.net.au" target="_blank">blchupin@iinet.net.au</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div>On 07/04/10 00:25, Karl Larsen wrote: > On 04/06/2010 06:54 AM, Basil Chupin wrote: > >> On 06/04/10 21:27, Karl Larsen wrote: >> >> >>> On 04/06/2010 04:06 AM, Basil Chupin wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>>> On 06/04/10 19:07, Colin Law wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> Have you rebooted yet?

I take it that it is written by you in response to my post and is part of the rest of what you wrote (following). <div> > Is your background purple shaded dark left, getting lighter to the > right? > </div>Just to clarify things: I have several pairs of HDs all in movable cradles and I use a pair for various versions of the distros. On one set I have openSUSE 11.2 (KDE); on another I have Kubuntu Karmic (9.10) and on another I have Ubuntu Lucid Beta 1. I have not upgraded Karmic to Lucid - each was a clean, new installation (which is the way I prefer to work - no leftover bits to stuff things up :-) .) Earlier today Lucid received a vast amount of updates folowing which I noticed some changes and after which I rebooted - and this is what I was referring to when I asked if this meant that I now have Lucid Beta 2 (or at least a preview of it before its official release in a day or so (depending in which part of the world you are). But is the background really purple or is in fact mauve or lilac? I guess this could be debated depending on how clear your corneas are (they yellow as you get older) and the type of monitor you have and whether it can handle RGB colours or not :-) . To me its mauve; to my wife its lilac :-) . <div> BC -- In a period of great joy and pleasure you are comforted by the thought that tragedy is just around the corner. -- </div><div><div></div><div>ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
