Applications in Ubuntu 10.04 Messaging Menu get Renamed

The Messaging Menu applet in Ubuntu 10.04 now refers to the default applications contained within using descriptive titles divided in sections rather than the application name.

It's believed that retitled the menu entries will better help newcomers, unfamiliar with Linux application names, in using the default application selection.

As such 'Empathy' becomes named 'Chat', 'Evolution' is termed 'Mail' and the purpose of 'Gwibber' is made clearer via a 'Microblogging' moniker.

The default applications are renamed; Pidgin, not being default, retains its title.

The application names remain unaffected in the main menu.

Empathy Gets New Default theme for Ubuntu 10.04 (And it looks familiar…)

It's the IM client everyone loves to hate but for all its perceived shortcomings Empathy remains a perfectly usable and roundly featured application - hence why it's default!

For Ubuntu 10.04 Empathy gains a new default theme (which we mentioned was in the works months back).

So, How does it look? Very familiar...

"Familiar? How so?" you may ask. We turn to Gwibber to see...

..or is it just a straight port of Adium theme 'Renkoo'?

Either way UI consistency across the default applications equals utter win for me.
