Bespin!
by Riothamus on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @10:28

I love the look of Bespin! I've often felt that Oxygen did look a little too much like other proprietary desktop environments (not that I'm hating on it, I still think it looks nice). But Bespin looks rather slick, with some unique style to it. I love the look of the progress bar and tabs in particular.

Well, there are some elements of Bespin which I would like to see in Oxygen like the better use of gradients but overall in direct comparison I prefer Oxygen due to Bespin sporting some questionable design decisions (e.g. tab bar which looks like button bat and doesn't make it clear that tabs are exclusive and the less functional scroll bar).

As opposite to your view, I always want a style which is more like "other proprietary desktop environment", and Oxygen does not belong to this category. Honestly, I like the glossy looks there as it looks modern and bright. I love the Oxygen style also, I just wish the team will make it closer to nuno's mockups:

(I don't know if they had changed the design)
