just my two cents.

I highly agree with your comment and I am a huge fan of MATE. Not so much Cinnamon or KDE. The philosophy of the desktop getting out of the way is what I initally was drawn to with Gnome 2. Plus customizing is simple and readily available to the user. KDE is very customizable and has proven to run more efficient in its recent releases and has a huge following. But all in all it's personal preference. As Linux users we are all very lucky to even have a choice. I am grateful and I believe 3.5 was an answer to broader range of users. It's admirable knowing that such a wide range of considerations have been taken to please the masses, and just shows how much Ultimate Edition cares about it's fan base. I know I'm looking forward to whatever comes next, no matter what the desktop... 8-)

All up to Thee, but I can guarantee almost that KDE will not be on 3.6.

Why? Numbers, even and odd. There is a pattern. The real question is will it be Mate.....or a type of Classic?

Or...

I installed 1.6.1, I wasn't especially worried due to lxde/xfce/classic all running, it had something to do with file manager at start up, but I didn't upgrade, I will revisit, normally I don't have issues with Mate so much, but Cinnamon.

You go pam & thanks for all you do ;)

As far as my current workings... Done in one days work, amazing what can be accomplished when sober and lay off the sauce:
3.4.1-1.jpg
Ultimate Edition 3.4.1, based off mate 1.6 is in route. New radio tray with 2 or 300 radio stations. Content is king ;)

3.4.1-2.jpg
Social fixer is integrated, welcome black facebook.

xbmc12.2.png
XBMC 12.2 pre <- can't guarantee this until fully tested.

No more dual monitors, smoked my video card. New vidcard is in route, that by all rights should make the one laying on my desk look pathetic. Using integraded and not liking it.

409 MB of upgrades, newer firefox, kernel etc. Integraded fixes discovered from Ultimate Edition 3.4 feedback.

Oh, this is a Ultimate Edition 3.6 thread right? Don't wanna let the cat out of the bag yet:

Built quite a while ago...


3.6 will NOT be repostormed <- this adds typically a week to my build time until I get it perfected.

Awesome Theemahn!!
From the images i can see mate 1.6 doing better compositing..stuff is rendered with deeper shadows, looks awesome.
Congrats on Ultimate Edition 3.6...way to go!

Ultimate Edition is finally blending with itself....newer themes and walls is what is needed now.

Thanks

3.6's theme is still work in progress it is very legible:
not perfect.png
Not perfect yet tabs need adjusted, wallpaper is subject to change.


Progress bars are fully animated, I do like the theme, but a bit light for example in nautilus.

Very legible, but light for my tastes.

One word..SPECTACULAR!

Fonting in 3.4 lite is perfect, kerning is brilliant.
