I think this is the only piece of software where effort has specifically spent on making the interface more brown. Is this what Mark Shuttleworth called 'a designer's touch'?
- senko 17y agoUbuntu has adopted a not-widely-used colour (probably there are reasons for /that/) and sticks to it consistently (to the dismay of many :). As an effect, many people (who have seen Ubuntu) now associate orange/brown with it. It's simple brand recognition. (Personally I don't like their choice, but in a world saturated with bluish/lightgrayish/greenish/sunny spring morning colours, it's a brown cow)
- rbanffy 17y agoYou do know it's not exactly hard to change the looks of the interface, if the brown tones don't make you happy. Mine is grey-ish/blue-ish most of the time. I spent a lot of time with it looking like OpenSolaris and Fedora too.
- nailer 17y agoYes, I do. Are you aware people will judge the attention to detail to the rest of the OS by how it looks? And that people don't like unnecessary work?
