Sanity

When I am flooded with what some people supposedly are, I have to keep my sanity:

  1. Heh, I was wondering who was be the first to make fun of the "I am GNOME" trend of late and how :-D You've surpassed my expectations (even though I have a little different conception of desktop layout from yours, but same in terms of functionality).

  6. I thought i was sane, but ive learned to love unity. Now the bugs are getting ironed out its quite productive. A couple of apps i use need to fit into the system tray, like remmina and Vuze. Now that i know the keyboard shortcuts its GOLD.

  7. You 'll never make it up to be in Gnome's Dev Team... :-) ...too much icons & buttons to click... too much stuff to do... in "awesome" Gnome 3 we only watch and imagine things

  8. Remove the top panel, the bottom panel, and the icons, and I would agree with you.

  9. Anonymous, here's an advice for you: buy a picture, frame it, hang on a wall and stare at it all day long, i am sure it will make you happier. It is has simple shape and pretty colors, it may suit well your IQ level too.

  10. gnome fallback is still there in f15 for people who still want gnome2 experience

    ReplyDelete
  11. @hicham: have you tried the fallback mode? is really bad and still work-in-progress and the developers say their intention to make it work as close as possible to the shell

  12. @nicu :
    I tried it, and it behaves much like gnome2, only some applets need porting to the new panel code.

    ReplyDelete
  13. then you are on the way to a surprise, it is under change, to not allow even those applets

  14. I like the simple design , this is how i usualy used gnome 2.x in Ubuntu and Debian
    It seems that gnome3/unity will kill that usable concept
    so i now i'm mostly in the lxde land
    installed on all machines , I feel better
    less crap and anymations to bother me all day
    And the buttons are where i left them

    Maybe they need some cool themes , the default one in lubuntu it bacame to much blue and i loved the old colors

    But in the rest i love lxde : small and beautiful and i wait until unity3d/gnome3 will become usable in 3-4 years
