This is a visual brainstorm, the channel for everybody to contribute to the GIMP UI redesign process. It is moderated by the GIMP UI redesign team. We do not post mock-ups here ourselves, we ‘listen’ to what you show us and broaden our horizons.
Yesterday the KDE project launched their own version of Ubuntu Brainstorm, creatively called KDE Brainstorm. This new section of the forums allows users to vote and comment on ideas, just as Ubuntu Brainstorm does.
The following idea, proposed on Ubuntu Brainstorm, puts forward the sugeestion that users should be allowed to configure the application set before installation. Sort of like the Windows Browser ballot but for, well, pretty much everything.
Last week, I covered how to use KGRUBEditor to re-order the boot menu you see at startup, so that dual boot users could move Windows to the top of the list if they would like. It is also relatively simple, however, to manually reorder this menu by editing the configuration file of GRUB (that’s the boot loader).
Ubuntu is way easier to install than certain other operating systems. But it would be even greater if I could select which applications I wanted on my new system before the Ubiquity installer goes about its business - an idea that was proposed recently on Ubuntu Brainstorm. Here's why it should go through.
As we have had the KDE Brainstorm running for almost a month, reaching its 700th idea today. 27 pages of well discussed ideas that are voted upon by users.
However, before I get into this: It is possible to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows. This means that when you turn on your computer, you’ll get a menu that says “Ubuntu” and “Windows” and you can pick which one to boot into.
he Ubuntu design team have published mock-ups of the proposed Ubuntu 9.10 Boot and GDM screens.
In a post on the Ubuntu-art mailing list, Mat Tomaszewski revealed the proposed designs, and confirmed the plan for Ubuntu to use a new boot-screen manager, replacing Usplash with Xsplash.
Brilliant Brainstorms is a (usually) weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site as well as various other Brainstorm-style sites: warning users of poor performance of Live CDs; making Ubuntu Brainstorm work in IE; take advantage of the new notification system for notes; and assigning priorities to WiFi networks.
