14 DAY TRIAL // While Canonical failed once again to deliver that "professional-looking theme" everyone was expecting (promised since the time when Ubuntu 9.10 was still under development), it introduced some nice themes created by various users of the community for the upcoming release of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx): Ambiance and Radiance. Today, we announce the new wallpapers added by Canonical in Lucid Lynx.
There are sixteen wallpapers in total, for the new Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) release, and most of them are nature related. In order of appearance, their names are: Curlsby Candy, Busqueda Nocturna, Yellow flower, Daisy, Cornered, FallDrops/AncientLight, Fluffodome, Icy stones 2, Maraetai before sunrise, BosqueTK, Out of focus, Pointy, In the dark Redux, Smooth Moment and Warm lights. We've also added the default wallpaper. Congrats to the authors of these beautiful photographs!
Among some of the interesting features that will be present in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx), we can mention the newly released GNOME 2.30 desktop environment, which brings lots and lots of improvements in many areas, such as Nautilus, Empathy, Evolution, Tomboy, Totem, Rhythmbox, and many more. Lucid's kernel packages will be based on Linux kernel 2.6.32, and applications such as Oracle's OpenOffice.org 3.2, Mozilla Firefox 3.6, Transmission 1.92 or Pidgin 2.6.6, Mozilla Thunderbird 3 and The GIMP 2.6.8 (all three available from the repositories) will also be present in the final version of Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx).
Don't forget to visit our website next Thursday (April 22nd) for a detailed report on the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) RC release, where we will unveil more of Lucid's new features!
