Hi All Friends,
Warning : I'm not a designer, but just a daily user of Ubuntu.
So let have a look on the "Desktop" paradigm.
We used to understand the "Desktop" as the one on real life. The "desktop contains our files(can contain Personal Data, Music, Pictures, Movies), this is the way we used it just now. But in this way , the Desktop means the same thing as our Home Folder. it is a bit confusing. When we are working on Computer, we don't have any sight of the "Desktop", so for most of the time is irrelevant for us to keep on going with the "Desktop" as a Folder.
I think they was/are active discussion about this "Desktop" paradigm.
Here is my Idea : Why not start thinking of the Desktop as just A Big (pin)Wall !
So we could add Notice , link (shotcuts), pictures, and more relevant things to the Wall through Widget. as a background for the Wall, light 'Wall'papers are just a logical choice.
Designer could think about any other possibilty the Wall paradigm could bring to the user's experience.
Thanks All for reading me
