About GNOME:
GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment—the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system—entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.
GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.
The name originally stood for GNU Network Object Model Environment, though this acronym is deprecated. The GNOME project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, usability, and making things “just work”.
What is new in this release:
- Made it so that the metacity and gtk elements of the theme can, after all, be installed together as a whole theme by dragging into the Appearances box as normal.
- Altered the gtk portion so that the colour scheme is correct straight away and not the clearlooks default colours.
- Combined the old .gtkrc-2.0 file with the theme so there is less manual effort for the user.
- Improved the panel buttons, made from a transparent pixmap in the Moomex theme on this site.
- 8th Oct '11: new rounder panel buttons, different colour window border buttons
Requirements:
- gtk+
- GNOME
