J. Mak & Everyone else,<br> I completely agree that Xubuntu will pass Kubuntu, the fact that the panels should be smaller by default, and I like the new window dressings (that just came out in the update) along with the idea of V3 being default wallpaper, but I would have to disagree with the icon padding. I really don't think that's an issue and I kinda like it, but then again .. that is just my opinion.
<br><br> Also, the boot splash still doesn't exist on AMD64 ... any thoughts? I have tried it on 2 different AMD64 machines (one a single and the other a dual core) and I get the same results, just wondering.<br><br>But yes, Xubuntu dominates and we will become the most used alternative to Ubuntu, all in due time.

Hi all,<br><br>I am sorry I haven't had much time providing feedback about edgy so<br>far but as you know, I am working almost full time on the ubuntu<br>artworks that takes much of my time. But today I managed to install
<br>edgy on my computer and here are some of my feedback and suggestions.<br><br>ARTWORKS.<br><br>The login screen now can be considered final.<br><br>I also fine-tuned WALLPAPER V3 and am suggesting to be used as the<br>
default wallpaper. I tweaked its color and now it goes nicely with the<br>login screen and the blue clearlooks theme.<br>Both uploaded to the<br><br><a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkXubuntuProduce">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArtworkXubuntuProduce
</a><br><br>wiki.<br><br>FEEDBACK.<br><br>Panels. I already said this during the dapper phase but now I bring it<br>up again. They are oversized; not only visually unpleasing but it<br>makes no sense from the functional point of view either. Imagine how
<br>much valuable screen space it takes from a 15 inch monitors.<br>Pleeeeeese change the default to 26 like gnome.<br><br>Icons. I think tango is not a good choice. It lacks contrast and is<br>very boring as well . The new gnome icons, on the other hand, elegant,
<br>complete and contrast nicely with the background. I very much<br>recommend using them. The other thing is the ugly labels behind the<br>icon text. I've heard that this bug was already fixed in the newest<br>xfce release. I am not sure though, but if this is the case it would
<br>be nice to take them out and create a desktop that looks and feels<br>like the other flavors.<br><br>Icons on the panel. This I already mentioned during the dapper phase.<br>There is too much padding around the icons. They suppose to touch the
<br>edges of the panel edges like in gnome. This was already fixed in<br>dapper but now I see a regression in this regard.<br><br>Question? Jani, what is your plan regarding the splash. I hope this<br>mouse thing wont come back again because this would destroy the
<br>visual impact of the entire interface.<br><br>Otherwise, xubuntu rocks. I expect that it will pass kubuntu on the<br>distrowatch soon and becomes the second most popular ubuntu flavor.<br>And Mark likes its look a lot.
<br><br>That's it for now, I hope not forgetting anything.<br><br>Cheers,<br>J. Mak<br><br>--<br><a href="http://jozmak.googlepages.com/">http://jozmak.googlepages.com/</a><br><br>--<br>xubuntu-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:xubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com">
