Improving The Linux Desktop? Why, Itâs Elementary
,----[ Quote ]
| The motivation for elementary started long
| before project leader Daniel Forà had ever even
| heard of Linux. Back in those early days he was
| a Windows user (like many of us), who got
| caught up in the idea of making Windows look
| like OS X.
|
| Later on (Iâm proud to say) he discovered
| Kororaa Linux and was amazed at the power and
| flexibility of the Linux desktop. This sparked
| an underlying passion for great computing and a
| desire to create the most amazing desktop
| possible. Through these experiences he began
| his first project, making a Crystal style icon
| set for GNOME, and shortly thereafter The
| elementary Project was born.
|
| There are now many parts to elementary and the
| project is currently working on several ideas
| at once. Still prevalent is the ever popular
| elementary icon set and GTK theme (called eGTK
| for short), but searching wider than that we
| find efforts to improve Midori (the lightweight
| GTK Webkit based web browser) and even
| Nautilus, GNOMEâs built-in file manager.
| Thereâs even an elementary Theme Addon for
| Firefox. The goal for elementary is to improve
| many individual aspects of the Linux desktop
| and feed them upstream, while at the same time
| pulling it all together into a new and exciting
| desktop experience. Many of their modifications
| to Nautilus for example came from rejected
| Bugzilla patches and those that werenât, have
| been sent upstream. If their work to-date is
| anything to go by, this is definitely one
| project to keep an eye on.

| going places. Let's see what are the
