Sometimes I think it would have been easier to simply ring up at Steve Jobs’ door and simply ask him to hand over their HIG and freely license it to be adopted by GNOME. Even Evolution2 will look quite similar to Entourage and yet a bunch of people believe that this is innovative in GNOME while other people (including me) belive it’s simply a total ripoff of what Apple does but slightly different to not violate their IP. Button re-ordering, Look of widgets, simplification, top Panel, bottom Panel and so on. If you look closer to the GNOME Usability stuff then you find a lot of similarities to Apple’s.
So what I like to say is that not everything in GNOME got blessing by ALL developers or contributors.
The way you sound in that sentence makes me belive that only one small number of people direct it. Even Havoc Pennington or Owen Tayloer, to name a few examples, seem to be not happy with many solutions but they went the way because it was claimed to be for the better. One developer think that way, the other a different way. GNOME is communitywork where many people participate. > Do the developers think it is a good UI solution.

I also apreciate its extensive cusomizability as it allows me to configure it exactly to suit the needs of the disabled senior citizens whose computers I maintain in my free time. In reality, about the only area where KDE is unpolished is in that it puts too many icons in Kicker by default and that some of its menus are cluttered. Oftentimes they only include about 10 different icons which makes for a very jumbled aesthetic. If you’re going to have multiple desktops then you need a way for beginning users to know what happened to their windows when they switch desktops.Īlso the icon themes are far less complete. Plus, it doesn’t have support for using the mouse wheel to switch desktops and there’s no way to get the window list in metacity. It takes about one second for it to display menus, Nautilus is slow, and you can’t configure the icon sizes or the desktop fonts.Īlso, I like single-click but the desktop ignores my settings and insists on double-click. In my opinion, Gnome is far less polished than KDE.
