Here is a design conundrum: which way to lean the Hebrew Italic design. Logic, and probably common sense, would dictate that it should slant in the reading direction. However, I think we have to consider wider implications on this issue, and I would like to ask for the community’s opinion on this issue. Personally, I ...
Still Andrea Cimitan, still good news for you 🙂 This is a small blog post to list few of the changes we did to light-themes: Menuitem speedup, hurray!!! 😀 Subtle shadow on inactive notebook’s tabs White text color on GtkProgressBar Increased visibility of the resize gripper Fixed contrast applied to elements in GtkStatusbar More compatibi ...
Once again Brighton-based Clearleft prepared something special for those who attended this year’s dConstruct conference. Ivanka and myself had the pleasure to be amongst the lucky ones who managed to grab a ticket. The line-up was formed by some of the most prominent names in design thinking: Brendan Dawes David McCandless Hannah Donovan ...
In this latest post discussing development of the Ubuntu family of fonts, Bruno discusses scope, charactersets and what’s coming as part of the Ubuntu typeface. Where do you begin, where do you stop?

We’d _just_ signed off the new logo and word mark and so we collaborated back and forth and finally yesterday the finished article arrived! And here are the lovely stickers! They look ...
This week was a short one in the UK but it seems as though we set out to fill it with as much as we possibly could! For a start we hit beta this week. If you’ve not upgraded to Maverick, you really should. We all have and are enjoying the updated Radiance and Ambiance ...
Came in this morning to a mail from Rick, my Meerkat who went for a walk a little while ago. Apparently he was giving a keynote at Linuxcon!! More as I get it ...
While I’m not convinced that Sweden will actually win the world cup there’s lots to like about this “five minutes into the future” look at how we might share content and interact with devices in a few years time. I’m setting a reminder in my calendar. I’ll catch you in 5 years, see if we ...
We’ve been looking at making developments to the Ubuntu website that explore and highlight the reasons for using Ubuntu above and beyond the features of the products. One idea we had was to invite community members and Ubuntu users to tweet or post about why they use Ubuntu and display this on the site. The community’s voice on the websit ...
