Ubuntu 17.10 će uključivati Ambiance GTK i Shell temu, Ubuntu fontove i ikone kao i prozore sa kontrolama na desnoj strani umjesto na lijevoj strani kao na Unityju, također po defaultu će biti dodani minimize i maximize buttons. Promjene će biti implementirane u Gnome Shell tako da tko želi čisti upstream Gnome moći će ga lako dobiti. Razni features sa Unityja su u procesu dogovora sa Gnome developerima kako ih implementirati u Gnome.At GUADEC the Ubuntu developers along with upstream GNOME developers were able to figure out more about what their default plans are. This also includes moving the window controls back to the right of the window, rather than the left as it's been the past few years on Ubuntu with Unity. Didier commented, "Also, the default session will have our Ambiance GTK theme (including Shell), icon theme and ubuntu font by default. Applications control buttons will be …drum rolls… on the right1, with a minimize, maximize and close buttons! This vision is more compatible with having a dock always visible by default, while following more closely GNOME design for button placement. We want to keep those behavior changes like nautilus showing icons on the desktop as minimal as possible, and we are working upstream discussing all this, porting some of the changes and benefits discussed in the Unity experience back to GNOME when desired."
The Ubuntu changes will also be implemented as a GNOME Shell mode so users can switch to another session if preferring a more "upstream" or "stock" experience.
In regards to Wayland by default, the Canonical developer commented, "Oh, one last thing… we are going to switch over Wayland by default on 17.10. The Xorg session will still be available alongside. This enables us to get some good set of feedback to be ready and make our final decision for our next LTS, 18.04."
Wayland će biti default na Ubuntuu 17.10 sa X.orgom kao opcijom uz Wayland, to će biti testni period da na osnovi iskustava korisnika se donese konačna odluka za 18.04 LTS da li će imati Wayland kao default ili ne.
Dobro je da će imati uobičajeni Ubuntu izgled, nadam se da će i zamijeniti launcher button za onaj sa Ubuntu logom.
