GNOME 3: Lured into the hot corner
December 19, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I get on any other computer, any other OS (even Windows and Mac OS), or any other desktop environment, and I find myself mousing into the top-left (or “hot”) corner to get my application panel and search/launching dialog. That works in GNOME 3. I do it all the time. You know what happens when you mouse into the corner in these other OSes/DEs (excepting Ubuntu’s Unity, which shares more technology with GNOME 3 than you might care to admit)? Nothing.

How to easily install the very latest GNOME in any Distro with JHBuild
December 16, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The point for having an upstream GNOME installation built from sources is if you are going to build an extension, a theme or a GTK App and take advantage of all the new features of next GNOME. However it is also useful if you want to help GNOME to get better by submitting bugs ..or it could be useful if you are just curious to see what’s coming next 
The tool for building GNOME is nothing else than JHBuild.

Review: Linux Mint 14.1 “Nadia” MATE + GNOME 3/Cinnamon
December 11, 2012 by Leave a Comment
The GNOME 3/Cinnamon edition is still too unstable. The MATE edition is much better than in version 13 LTS “Maya”, and I can now recommend it as much as I was past editions of Linux Mint with GNOME 2.

November 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment
GNOME Control Center 3.6 (along with GNOME Settings Daemon 3.6) has finally made it into the GNOME 3 PPA for Ubuntu 12.10. This was the last piece that was missing for Ubuntu 12.10 users to get a truly complete GNOME 3.6 experience.
Here’s what’s new in GNOME Control Center 3.6 (version in the PPA is 3.6.3) compared to the previous version available for Ubuntu 12.10 users (3.4.2):
GNOME: Can this Linux desktop be saved?
November 26, 2012 by Leave a Comment
After taking a design path that sent many of its users running to other desktops, GNOME seems to be giving its users what they want: a GNOME 2.x style desktop. But, is it too late? Will GNOME fans come back?

A Screenshot Tour to Gnome Shell 3.7.2+Git
November 23, 2012 by Leave a Comment
I was very optimistic about the potential of Gnome3 since the beginning ..but I couldn’t never imagine all these things that are happening in 3.8. Gnome 3.8 is above any expectation and that has mostly to do with the refreshed Shell and Gnome Control Center we will get. If Gnome Shell 3.6 was a good release, Gnome Shell 3.8 will be more than amazing!

GNOME Shell 3.8 To Get A `Classic` Mode
November 22, 2012 by Leave a Comment
Two weeks ago, we were telling you that the fallback mode will be dropped from GNOME 3.8 and that some extensions which provide a GNOME 2 like layout might be maintained by the GNOME developers for those who are used to the classic interface.
Well, it’s now official: a few GNOME Shell extensions which bring back some “classic” features will be supported by GNOME. Among the extensions included are: classic alt tab, task bar, min/max buttons and a main menu.
