Thread: Why is Ubuntu so 'bulky' ?

-

hello,

i've noticed ubuntu , other linux distributions use gnome , kde environments; icons , text big. there lots of space in between items, toolbars take important space, etc. on production system, have custom .gtkrc file in home folder , have done configuration changes. here compare current jaunty installation custom options, , karmic install in vm default options. distribution version isn't important, reference purposes. decided attach few pictures comparisons can see mean.

basically, think having smaller text , icons makes desktop feel larger , cleaner, many users appreciate. reduce scrolling in many cases, small screens netbook owners. it's hard change the icon sizes of toolbars, menus, etc, need via gtkrc files. interesting sure have option change this.

other users think ?

well imho beauty of *buntu can modify hearts content.

happen gnome desktop , i've gone far installing ubuntu minimal , installing current gnome desktop, found easier start standard ubuntu , modify.

bottom line no 1 can build desktop that's going satisfy everyone. think i've tried every **nux out there , find ubuntu date , modifiable far, i'm not sure idea of software center replacing synaptic.

synaptic , replacing sounds sort of cnr me:
