Gnome 3.8 Applications
Gnome 3.8 has been released and apart from the various Gnome libraries, services and core parts that have been upgraded, we should take a look on the applications and utilities that are also an important part of Gnome. How did the tools that we will be using every day evolved? What new exciting features and [...]

GNOME 3.8, One Day After
GNOME Foundation released its 25th version of the community driven OS inside 14 years (Mar 1999- Mar 2013) and maybe, just maybe, this this is one of the most hard-worked releases ever, in their history. Without bothering about the new features, what 3.8 really brings is speed. Speed ot doing things!
How to fix the broken GDM in GNOME 3.8 Beta
I think that bug only concerns Fedora 19 installations that come with Initial Setup or any other distribution that you have manually installed Gnome-Initial-Setup, like an upgrade from F18->F19. As a workaround of a broken GDM you could use lightdm instead, but it seems there is a second solution to use GDM and therefore the [...]

Welcome to GNOME 3.8, Flintstones Mode ;)
There was a discussion in GNOME Mailing Lists about the name of GNOME Classic Mode. The name remained Classic, but someone proposed to re-name it to Flintstones; What more classic than this? GNOME users in March 27 with the 3.8 release, will get two options in Login Screen (GDM), GNOME and GNOME Classic, or GNOME [...]
GNOME Shell 3.7.9 (3.8 beta) Changelogs
GNOME Shell 3.8 beta has been released yesterday and brings hundreds of changes and bug-fixes. Of course GNOME isn’t just Shell (or is it?) and the whole GNOME 3.8 beta brings probably thousands of changes in all modules. Personally I consider this release as 3.0, in the sense that this is how should 3.0 be [...]
GNOME 3.8 changes the way you access Notifications Panel
In GNOME 3.4 you could access the notification panel from right-bottom hot corner. In GNOME 3.6 you could access notifications panel by letting for 1sec the mouse pointer on the whole of the bottom screen edge. In GNOME 3.8 we will get a “pressure sensitivity” behavior to trigger Notifications Panel. The new design is possible [...]
Gnome Goals current situation
As Gnome 3.8 is halfway through, we all get more and more excited by the new amazing features and improvements that we are going to reap soon, but what is going on with the eleven current Gnome goals? Are we going to have a more consistent Gnome in version 3.8, or are some of the [...]
Gnome Design Playground!
Gnome’s design playground is a happy place where everyone is allowed and encouraged to make a design proposal, discuss the possible problems of the idea or the implementation, and finally collaborate with others. As these ideas are not always good or very well thought out, many of them change dramatically till they get implemented, or [...]

GNOME to use the Unicode ellipsis (…) instead of three periods
Ellipsis or three dots character (…), is a core part of any User Interface Design and indicates to the user that additional information is required before the associated operation can be performed. Ellipsis is a Unicode Character (0×2026) and benefits controls like buttons to have more clear typography. It seems that Gnome just now adopts [...]
GNOME “Classic” will be a separate session in 3.8
It has been known that GNOME 3.8 will support a GNOME 2-ish environment through extensions. What wasn’t clear is if that option would be included in Gnome Control Center (similar to Fallback) or in Gnome Tweak Tool. Neither will happen. GNOME “Classic” will start up a separate session, and that means we can choose it from [...]
Fallback mode is going away – what now ?
Fallback mode is going away – what now?, is the question that Matthias Clasen does in Gnome Desktop Lists. The point is that Gnome wants to support a more “classical mode”, as many people requested it and now that Fallback is gone, Gnome do (or will) the best move. They will provide support for a traditional [...]
Gnome is the most active OS project inside 550k others!
What a nice day to make some propaganda :) According to Ohloh.net Gnome is the most actively developed open source project (inside ~560.000 other projects) for Sep 12 – Oct 12, with 4068 commits from 308 contributors! The funny part is that Gnome overcomes the runner up Chrome/Chromium, just by one single commit!
