I have a filter too, ignore me, I'm just used to [mailinglist], I'll
retune myself to looking at the filter (which is already setup). I'm
really a spectator on this list so don't worry too much.

Top posting and not trimming previous messages though.. that _is_ annoying :)

I like the subject tag because whilst I don't electronically filter on
it, I do filter on it with my eyes. I'm on around 150 mailing lists
and being able to scan down the inbox and see the tag helps me to
decide which ones to read first.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Jaunty Wallpaper

I appreciate the "don't copy the competition" and "don't use photos"
points in the document, .. but..

If you take a look at the latest (7) version of Windows you'll see
that one of the built in themes uses some generic photos. I assume
(but don't know) they are localised because the photos I see (being a
british person) are very "british". Hills, valleys, streams, stone
circles, cottages and so on. On the machine at work running Windows 7
there have been a fair number of comments from people passing about
how striking the images are, nobody seems to have paid any attention
to other desktop components or furniture.

Maybe photos aren't _such_ a bad thing, especially if they're
localised, and does _everyone_ have to see one single wallpaper?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Al.

Re: [ubuntu-art] alpha wallpaper and icon needed

I know that for myself I sometimes plod along with the development
version of Ubuntu not really knowing where we are with alpha/betas
because my system is always being updated. Perhaps some text on the
backdrop in the corner - in the same way you see the build number of a
Windows pre-release system, as well as having a nice funky image to
talk about / oggle at?

In my dayjob the icon in the SAP system for test is a micrometer
measuring something [0] - which actually looks more like a winzip
clamp icon to me.

Other suggestions from around the office include "gears/cogs" of some
kind - wihch I know in GNOME is already used for launchers on the
panel. Alternatively some kind of medical testing - taking the
metaphor too far - test tubes or flasks.

Al.
