Re: Menu in 13.04

 

Yes, that surprised me a bit, when installing Lubuntu for a friend. Sadly,
the default isn't choosen, "normal" and "particle beam" have the same
votes. Any advice to clear this point quickly? Julien is waiting for it.
The Flickr contest doesn't matter for this right now (it can last a few
more).

Thank you for your trust! :) I must admit I'm not the best UI designer in
the world, but I pretend to be "within fashion" and look also what the
great masters do, at least.
