Hi, Seems a lot of the good ideas on the wiki were not picked up... Anyways, just constructive criticism: 1- the lack of the progress bar , will be difficult to know when the system loading will be finished.[IMO this is a *regression* , other OS may not have the progressbar but we had a good feature!] the presence of the progress bar actually shows off the good work done in reducing the boot time, you can visually see the boot is quicker than Jaunty and _shows off the speed_ of Ubuntu .[which other OS lack!] 2- the color of the background is dull , pls choose a more vibrant color. cheers, mac_v -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
