Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.

Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx new themes and logo were made public only a couple of days ago but there are already quite a few "goodies" available based on this new artwork.

Yesterday we say a beautiful BURG theme based on the new Radiance theme, but since then many artists have been playing with the new wallpaper, logo, etc. Read on!


Dichotomy GTK theme

Dichotomy is a new work-in-progress GTK theme for the upcoming Lucid Lynx (10.04) release. All other theme elements (Icons, Pointer, Wallpaper & Metacity decoration) correspond to the new "Ambience" theme.

The purpose of this GTK theme is to integrate Ubuntu's original and distinctive identity (orange and brown) into Lucid Lynx's upcoming Brand refresh.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Wallpapers


* If you want the original Ubuntu 10.04 purple wallpaper, get it from HERE.

Quite a few wallpapers were designed for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx the last couple of days, some only adding a logo to the original Lynx wallpaper, some creating a variation of the purple color and finally some orange wallpapers with the new Ubuntu logo.


The first one was created by Saleel Velankar and it was initially brown, but it was now changed to match the new Ubuntu 10.04 colors:

But maybe you want the original Lynx image (brown):

Next we have an wallpaper which looks a lot like the original Ubuntu 10.04 wallpaper, except it comes with the new Ubuntu logo and an transparent "Gnu/Linux" text on the side:

This wallpaper comes in two aspect ratios: 16:9 | 12:9 (I still don't understand why Ubuntu can't do that too).



If you hate purple, there are also 2 orange wallpaper variations which come with the new Ubuntu logo:

Both come in 1024x768, 1280x800, 1440x900, 1680x1050 and 1920x1200 screen resolutions. Download: the first orange wallpaper | the second orange wallpaper
