| Ubuntu 11.10 Wallpapers and Theme |
Actually, Ubuntu 11.10 just leave 4 themes (GTK) to choose, that is Ambiance, Radiance, High Contras, and High Contras Inverse. We can't change anymore the appearances of window by manual (window color, window border, etc) and we also lost toolbar menu in the Nautilus.
Notable Missing Application
After finish installing Ubuntu 11.10 to our system, we hope that we will find a new experience without losing some great feature that available in previous version. Well, some application has much improvement, but some application has lost. here some lost application/features that we missed the presence.
- We miss the toolbar menu in Nautilus. although this looks better but this progress has limit our capabilities.
- Synaptics, Ubuntu Software Center 5 can replace all functionality of synaptics, but for some reason 'on the same' computer Ubuntu Software Center runs so slowly compared with synapics.
- I can't take fast Screenshot using compiz, compiz have utility to make fast screenshot by pressing the <super> + <button 1> , now i can't do it and back to the classic way :(
- We have lost theme 'appearence' utility which let's us setting such window color, icon, default font, and window border. we're only left 4 theme to choose.
- Gnome Classic, we also lost theUbuntu Classic as alternative desktop environment in login page, as we can see on login screen we have only a choice to Unity and Unity 2D.
