UbuntuOne Gets A (Rubbish) New Icon

By , Published October 13, 2009

UbuntuOne – Ubuntu’s cloud storage service – has been given a new icon in the latest Karmic updates. The new icon is, presumably, to better integrate UbuntuOne into the new Karmic Panel Icon style.

I will warn you that it is not spectacular in the slightest.

It sucks. Simple as. I understand what it’s trying to do (a HDD and a cloud = cloud storage) but it looks more out of place than the previous brightly coloured icon. it does match the “grey” theme of the rest of the panel icons, but it doesn’t match the style and as such sticks out just as much as before.

For anyone wanting a proper greyscale UbuntuOne icon in their panel – be sure to check out this previous post: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2009/10/ubuntuone-match-karmic-panel.html

(I also apologise for the late posting of this change, i noted it earlier this morning. )

    Nevertheless, conctact, bookmarks and notes sync seems not to be far away:

    Tomboy syncing works for me. The new ubuntu one web ui has a contacts tab, which leads to nowhere…

    I’ve had this since I upgraded to karmic about 2 weeks ago. I thought it was lame then and it still is lame now

    I have been having problem connecting up to it on both my desktop and notebook. Has anyone else been experienced this?

    I got this update 2 weeks ago. I personally doesn’t like it either.

    At first I thought that was a picture of a hard drive with a bite taken out of it (like a chocolate bar).

      Sure thing :) There’s really not much to tell however…

    It changed again after today’s update. It’s a puffy cloud. And some of the icons like when you disconnected matches the Humanity Icon set. :)
