But where I went was : <a href="http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/trusty/" target="_blank">http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-gnome/releases/trusty/</a> (which is for Ubuntu GNOME not for normal Ubuntu). Since I didn't realize it was different, I downloaded the beta.</div>
<div><br></div><div>And I loved the look. I figured... hey, they're going for touch screens and all kinds of new things, so the look is changing. I had noticed "Ubuntu GNOME" written on the login screen... but that's about it. :) I figured it was just the new 14.04 look.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then today I updated an Ubuntu 13.10 machine to 14.04 and found it had the old Ubuntu look in 14.04. So I started trying things out to see why I didn't get the new look. Tried all I could. Spent a few hours this afternoon on it... :)</div>
<div><br></div><div>Then I read... and found out that "Ubuntu GNOME" is a separate (yet official) flavour of Ubuntu : <a href="http://ubuntugnome.org/" target="_blank">http://ubuntugnome.org/</a> and that you can download it from cdimage and their site.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you haven't tried it, it's definitely worth a look! And if you do, you can also update a standard ubuntu to Ubuntu GNOME by installing "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" metapackage, and selecting "gdm" instead of "lightdm"... and then from the new login screen, selecting "GNOME" as your session.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Frankly, I can't go back to the "old" Ubuntu look. :)</div><div><br></div><div>(Of course it's all a question of taste!)</div><span><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div>
