Ubuntu 9.04 Has a Brand New Wallpaper

fter the new login screen, new themes and the new boot splash theme introduced the other day, Canonical finally updated the old Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) wallpaper with a brand new one. As you can see in the image below, there's no more logo as everyone expected... instead, the wallpaper is slick, simple and stylish. Softpedia is once again the first website to offer you a preview of the new artwork, which will probably be present in the final release of Ubuntu 9.04.

And this will conclude the artwork for the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) operating system. The Beta version is in freeze starting today March 19th, and is expected next Thursday, March 26th. Only beta-critical bug fixes will be allowed from now on!

But wait... surprise, surprise, there's another wallpaper! Well, I guess Canonical wanted to show that they can listen to their users and offer them freedom of choice. However, the first one above is set as default, for now.
