I'm not too fond of the "bubbling" theme, however I must admit that in
context it does look rather nice. I like what I've seen of Echo thus
far, and to be in tune with it, I think the bubbling theme kind of
interferes (IMO), I'm sure there are some good ideas on how to
integrate the brand "fedora" and the logo into a default
desktop/splash/GDM theme besides the bubbling presence it has today
(seems like an ad for Alkazelzer or a soda IMO)
