Re: Ubuntu becomes OS X (sorta).

I actually like the brown/orange/copper/whatever color it is supposed to
be. It is actually the most pleasing out of any of the default
color/window themes I've used. With that said, I absolutely hate the Mac
OS look. It's so cartoonish and bright, I can't stand it. The Windows XP
default theme, however, makes you feel stupid just looking at it. It's
like Microsoft paid Fisher Price to make their OS look pretty (obviously
the audience the software is aimed at ;)).

I like my OS to look clean and professional, and I think Ubuntu's
default theme does the job quite well. I actually liked the color scheme
better in 5.10. As far as making things look super cool, nothing
compares to E17. I tried it out a year or so ago, and while I couldn't
really do much with it (lots of missing features), it was the coolest
thing to look at. A screenshot of it just doesn't do it justice, you
have to see the animations in action.
