Re: [ubuntu-uk] Fwd: Help improve the desktop experience! Send screenshots of your 1024x768 desktop
2008/12/17 Philip Wyett philwy...@gmx.com: Not too sure Marks assertion that 1024x768 is probably the most widely used size of screen on laptops is correct overall but is within the thinkpad fan base. I haven't had a laptop with a default of 1024x768 for years but 1280x800 and now 1440x900. I am wrong in my thoughts here? :-) My oldest working laptop is 1024x768 and that's a 1GHz Celeron. Others are 1920x1200, 1440x1050, 800x480 and 1024x600. At UDS last week there were a fair few thinkpads, but also quite a few Mac laptops. I guess 1024x768 is a general minimum for a non-netbook laptop these days.

2008/12/17 gav revf...@blueyonder.co.uk: I'm using Fluxbox rather than Gnome, I never really got on with the Desktop Environments. Would my screenshots still be helpful? As he didn't specifically ask for GNOME, I'd say you could submit anything within reason really.

[ubuntu-uk] Fwd: Help improve the desktop experience! Send screenshots of your 1024x768 desktop
FYI: See below.. -- Forwarded message -- From: Mark Shuttleworth m...@ubuntu.com Date: 2008/12/17 Subject: Help improve the desktop experience! Send screenshots of your 1024x768 desktop To: Ubuntu Developers ubuntu-de...@lists.ubuntu.com Hi folks As part of our work on desktop experience and design, I'm collecting screenshots of desktops in action. Please send me yours! Feel free to send two or three, with browsers open or email clients or chat windows, anything. I'm interested in seeing the diversity of wallpapers, themes, panel configurations, window layouts in general use. By and large I think I can promise to keep these confidential but I would rather not have any sensitive info just in case. We will use these for mockups to test different ideas, and if one of those mockups got published I would not want to cause a problem for anyone! I specifically am looking for screenshots that are all the same size so we can test ideas against multiple desktops simultaneously. I think 1024x768 is probably the most widely used size of screen on laptops. I don't mind screenshots of desktops in other sizes (they may be quite useful) but having 10 or 20 shots in one size would be more useful right now. Thanks very much!

We could take Marks request a little further and make it a little fun for UK members and have a 'MyUbuntu' screen-shots section on the UK section of the wiki to add their pimped or not so pimped desktop images?
