First look at Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 'Lucid Lynx'

While I thought the new look was pretty nice for about 10 minutes I soon found that it just clashed with everything you ever use. For example, you end up with a bright white webpage in your browser against all the dark grey in the menu's. Different sections of menus aren't delimited and it all just looks a mess once you get past the initial excitement that the default isn't brown.

Like everyone else I don't get the change in the button positioning but its a pretty simple fix to put them on the other side (I know thats also no excuse!).

The boot time was much improved on my fairly ancient laptop and Firefox 3.6 feels quite snappy. Seems like everything loads a little bit faster.

Thats my impressions after using it for 3 days!

Sorry but Where's the rest of the post? It leaves off abruptly at with little actual info. I will be changing the positioning of those buttons as soon as 10.4 is installed too, but I'm sure Canonical did more work than that in 6 months.
