I do not use Ubuntu for various reasons that are now irrelevant, and although they have made somewhat controversial decisions at times, I cannot help but acknowledge that at times they deserve uproarious applause.
Yes, Ubuntu It is worrying about the user experience and they have been inserting a series of changes that at least I have loved. Many may already know what I am talking about, but it is worth pointing out.
Borderless windows
I repeat, I do not use Ubuntu but I must say: Thank you, thank you very much… I don't know about you but those little clear edges on Ubuntu windows made me sick. Someone has noticed this and the problem has been corrected and the result, I repeat, I love it.
This is one of the things that I love about Oxygen en KDE, that we can adjust the edges of the windows to our liking. And I'm not saying it for nothing, for the record, nor do I intend to compare, I only mention it for everyone's knowledge.
New Desktop Background
You will agree with me that one of the main things that we change when we install an Operating System, whatever it is, is the Desktop Background.
I think this time around, it would be the first time that the default Ubuntu Desktop Background could last me several weeks, in case I used it, of course.
But beware, don't think you will see a new color palette. According to the words of Michal Izydorczyk, one of the members of the Ubuntu Design team, one of the things that gets recognized when Ubuntu is installed is the Desktop background.
“For the last two weeks we have been working on the new Ubuntu Wallpaper. This has become an integral part of the Ubuntu brand, strong colors and gradients are powerful and important elements. We realized that when looking at someone's laptop, it really screams UBUNTU. "
Therefore, although this time it is a bit more sober and elegant for my taste, we will continue to see the same spirit and concept of the previous ones.
The Community Wallpapers they are also beautiful in many cases, and we can download them from Launchpad To try them.
New lock screen
Although it is not a change to launch rockets, nor do I consider it relevant, the new lock screen achieves an integration in terms of appearance with the login screen. Simple and elegant.
Botton line
In short, in order not to extend this article any further, I think the guys from Ubuntu they are on the right track. In the end, as they say, what does not enter through the eyes, does not enter anywhere and it is good that they care about offering a pleasant experience to new and old users.
I don't know if many of you can remember it, but precisely the changes in the artwork, it was what Ubuntu He had always promised and the users had waited, and we are already seeing them.
