Positive review of Fedora 8 test 2 look and feel (including Nodoka)

"The look and feel of the entire graphic desktop has been advanced and 
polished quite a bit from earlier versions, including Fedora 7. The 
overall color theme is still blue, but the controls and window border 
use Nodoka, a theme I've never heard of before. Everything has a clean, 
muted pastel look about it. Somebody finally got the good idea to make 
the window controls (minimize, maximize, and close) cover the entire 
bar. It Just Looks Right. The mix of tans, off-whites and whites are 
done very well. The complete effect is one of restrained quality. F8's 
look and feel contrasts severely with Vista's Aero (and for that matter 
Windows XP), with F8's standing head-and-shoulders above anything from 
Microsoft. The only desktop that compares with equal high quality is 
Apple's. But then again, that's just my opinion.

I would even go so far as to say that F8's look is quite superior to 
Ubuntu's, either 7.04 or the upcoming 7.10 version. Ubuntu's stock 
look-and-feel is beginning to look quite dated, and the brown-based 
theme has not aged well either.
