Ubuntu Netbook Remix Gets New GUI

Canonical’s Ubuntu Netbook Remix is getting it’s first GUI overhaul in time for the Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala release in October this year.

Some improvements noted over at Ubuntu Mini:

• No more Orange/Brown…almost (Yeah that’s an improvement in my books!)
• More space for icons by removing the right “locations” sidebar and integrating it into the left menu.
• Can easily “add to favorites” from any icon (with the new Notification system put to use here)
• App launcher no longer animates and is faster, less distracting
• Feels more responsive
