For a modern look, I am still in favor of Unity but for those who are into
the classic look, there's always MATE and XFCE that can be tweaked to look
like older Trisquel.
Recently Cinnamon 1.6 was released and has a 2d option for non accelerated
cards, but I heard that mode is still early a
I love it but I prefer KDE because it is more customizable for what I want :D
That is why I thought of creating a mix of what I (and anyone else) love of
all DE Shells.

.desktop file to the /usr/share/xsession, and becaus
I know, but is not in Gnome Classic used in Trisquel. It is not in Unity2D,
it is not on Xfce4 and other like this :D
Adding to my previous message, my solution is just for the keyboard (as
I prefer). But if you want to do it with the mouse, you could look at:
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/aero-snap-ubuntu-easystroke/
which uses Easystroke to run a command after a mouse gesture.

When I moved from Gnome Shell (which has that behaviour) back to Gnome
Classic, I was frustrated without that feature. But I recently found a
way that you can simulate the snapping.
1. install wmctrl

How perfectly infuriating. My 8200, 9800 GTX+ and 220 GT just get more and
more reliable. My only problem is dodgy USB on the youngest desktop (4 years
old) and that existed even with the non-libre distros I used in the past.
PS: About KDE I'm really scared about the fact that Qt as been bought... we
don't know what the future deserves us... but I have to be on this situation
of "We just don't know", it is the worst feeling a team of developers that
worked on a project for YEARS could have.

I'm running:
Trisquel 5.
I'm not saying that they couldn't be handled by extensions, I'm just saying
that they shouldn't have the need to be handled by those extensions. In my
opinion Extensions are like PPA's... you can use them, I can provide them if
anyone want and there is no one out there for their needs but I r

I thought that you were talking about the "schemes" used in Gnome (that can
be edited with gcond-editor or dconf-editor) xD My bad then.
The only problem with this is that, for this to happen (fallowing the Linux
Permissions System Rules), the file they are editing must be in a "neutral"
place like /etc/de_shell_name/configuration.cfg, and then asking for a
password would be natural and not allowed for everyone. But that would
I think forcing a user to enter an administrator password would work well. It
probably should be used carefully though. You don't want to disable a

Maybe have an option on the main panel that said "customize" where if

What card do you have, though? I've got an nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M (in a

My goal is to create something that could either be as lightweight (or even
more than) LXDE or OpenBox, or as full as something like GNOME or KDE. It'd
be up to the end-user.

Initially I disliked Gnome Shell. Then I started using it for a while

Gnome is doing it pretty right and I have no plans to use anything else than
it.
First of all I should make it clear that 1) I'm a newbie her and 2) I don't
have a clue about coding.
I've been using different DE's for some years and the problem for Me (and I
suspect many others)is that too much is installed as standard ,programs that
people don't want and will probably
I'm actually trying to work on my own DE as well. It'd be fully scriptable
and modular, and allows for the replacement of any part of it with another
part (say, XFCE4 panel with GNOME panel, or Metacity with Emerald, and so
on).
Right now though I'm still working on it and deciding how I'm
Other desktop environments provide more customization, e.g. Xfce, LXDE, E17.
But they are almost all the same. I love Ubuntu because of the new "Fresh
air" solving a lot of Gnome-Shell problems... The only problem is that a lot
of options are enabled in one version then disabled in another and Unity
sounds more like a Russian roulette than a Shell.
This is why I pro
You mean like a lock button, that, when clicked, would ask for the
administrator password in order to make any change ? (Like in some Gnome
applications).
I love for example the option "Back to default" on KDE, the problem is that

You are certainly right about the need for more options. The fonts for
instance are not suitable for older people. Something that GNU/Linux as a
desktop operating system is just perfect for.
I think what needs to happen is there should be an easy feature to
lock/unlock customization options
It is true that Pantheon win a lot thanks to that, but when I'm talking about
customization, I am talking about basic customization.
Example, on Ubuntu you can't change a lot in the top bar, but you should be
able to make basic customizations, like for example moving the Menu Bar/Dock

The idea behind Pantheon is to unify all desktop elements based on
statistical user feedback. And:
1) Customization needs more code to be written.
2) Users often break up their system while customizing too much (personal
experience).
3) Most people who use a computer don't care about customiz
I just left an elementaryOS livecd and see a lot of potential in Pantheon.
Patheon is beautiful, it is true, I've already tried it and I really liked
it. It is the best from Mac OsX and the best from Gnome in just one place.
But I've found it too hard to customize :S... And that is the main reason
that keep me from using it.
Hello everyone !
I will be very brief. I love Unity, but I think that it is very badly managed
(and uses too much Ubuntu dependencies). I love Gnome3 and Gnome-Shell but it
really lacks of customisation (and they took a lot of directions that I
personally wouldn't fallow). And KDE Plasma...
