Hi all, Seems like the ball is rolling pretty well with ideas for Ubuntu Hardy and beyond. Thanks to all who have submitted ideas - keep up the good work! Within the next few weeks we will have a final decision for the art direction for Ubuntu Hardy and can start taking parts of those ideas and

I've been experimenting with using dark themes. I've tried the Ubuntu Studio theme, which looks very shiny, and I've tried a customized theme which looks like this: http://code.bearfruit.org/~matt/MattsDesktop.jpg I used my customized theme for two weeks, I've been using Ubuntu Studio for about two
