Comments on: The futuristic design of all Gnome Apps! http://worldofgnome.org/the-futuristic-design-of-all-gnome-apps/ Just another GNOME blog Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:48:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Ryan http://worldofgnome.org/the-futuristic-design-of-all-gnome-apps/#comment-5537 Ryan Fri, 16 Nov 2012 09:15:00 +0000 http://worldofgnome.org/?p=3349#comment-5537 Mint’s Cinnamon is mostly just gnome-shell. Mint only has a few hipsters working on it, so they generally take 99% of their work from others. I’m convinced that Lefebvre faggot is sipping cocktails in the Caribbean bought with his donation dollars.

I would understand why Fedora would use gnome-shell but that is because Fedora is known for its Vanillaness. If you look at the major distros: Mint, Ubuntu, Zorin, Solus, Pinguy, NONE of these uses gnome-shell.

If it is really going to be defaced like this I’ll have to quit it. It is just sad.

Why is the gnome team following the same direction as Microsoft is going with Windows 8? The tablet experience =! desktop experience. Merging the two experiences together improperly results in an unusable desktop. The way apple merged OSX and iOS is proper because traditional features were not dropped. For example, the bottom was not removed, Right click support was not removed( it was included by default), There wasn’t a theme overhaul. The default gnome theme just looks horrible. Its very ugly. oh and okay you guys included a screen capturing tool with NO audio support. … wtf. I hope gnjome dies before it reaches version 4.0

Really. If you want to implement this, then by all means do so but give the option to users to costumize the shell to their needs and preferences.

If we find an equal open source alternative for disqus, we  will obviously move on that.

I’ve had an eye on these mockups for a while- I just hope it doesn’t take us too many years to get there. If so, much of this will seem like old news. I think having the modal dialogs makes perfect sense, as we already use them for these functions anyway. My parents and nieces use GNOME, and I’m sure this will only make it easier for them.

also i’m fine if they remove functionality and screw the users, but they should do it without hiding behind design-religious flag.

Realistically I do not seen anyone doing real work on real computers in real firms getting their machines replaced with a laptop or tablet in the next 15 to 20 years. Come on fit two regular sized documents side by side on a screen and you know what I mean.

It’s time for the visual artists to move into the background, and return UI design to industrial designers and people who think in terms of human/computer interaction.

Realistically, desktops will be replaced by laptops and laptops replaced by tablets… and a phone is always gonna be phone. All the GNOME developers: Keep up the GOOD work!

P.S. Disqus is proprietary and Software as a Service, why are you using it when there are free alternatives?

I’ll probably stick to gnome if none of my extensions broke during the 3.6 upgrade and ubuntu decide to fork nautilus; but this “we know better” philosophy is really getting annoyinig.

crazy times I know, but i guess someone has to do it.
