Boy does it ever… The design team designs and the desktop-experience teams’ work in turned said designs into reality deserve surely [...]
‘Introduction to Unity Launcher’ video shows off some very slick features

Some of the new features of the ‘not-a-dock’ launcher include a very nice 3D ‘accordion’ stack effect when lots of icons are present in the launcher bar (see [...]

Ubuntu Radiance/Ambiance Firefox Personas
Having just reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 I couldn’t help but notice how “un-integrated” Firefox looks in the default set up. Default Look Whilst the default set-up doesn’t look bad per se, it can easily look a lot better with the aid of some ‘one click’ Firefox Persona themes.

Ubuntu Light Themes Get Improved Scrollbar, More
The default Ubuntu Light themes have been updated with an improved scrollbar. (Dig in, guys, as these themes will be updated a lot over the next few months). Our criticism of the “current†scrollbar was the width – “chunky†doesn’t entirely cover it. It made windows look more ‘toyish’ and bulky than needed. The improved [...]
