Multiple Desktop Environment – Linux

25 Comments

en.wikipedia.org In graphical computing, a desktop environment (DE) commonly refers to a particular implementation of graphical user interface (GUI) derived from the desktop metaphor that is seen on most modern personal computers. These GUIs help the user in easily accessing, configuring, and modifying many important and frequently accessed specific operating system (OS) features. The GUI usually does not afford access to all the many features found in an OS. Instead, the traditional command-line interface (CLI) is still used when full control over the OS is required in such cases. A desktop environment typically consists of icons, windows, toolbars, folders, wallpapers and desktop widgets (see Elements of graphical user interfaces and WIMP). A GUI might also provide drag and drop functionality and other features that make the desktop metaphor more complete. A desktop environment aims to be an intuitive way for the user to interact with the computer using concepts which are similar to those used when interacting with the physical world, such as buttons and windows. While the term desktop environment originally described a style of user interfaces following the desktop metaphor, it has also come to describe the programs that realize the metaphor itself. This usage has been popularized by the Common Desktop Environment and the K Desktop Environment.

Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin Alpha 2 – HUD & Unity 5 Preview

25 Comments

Preview of Ubuntu 12.04, codenamed Precise Pangolin. In this video I show the new Heads Up Display (HUD) and Unity 5. HUD provides a method of accessing Application Menus via the Keyboard and typing the function that you want, it also learns from previous selections that you’ve made. At the moment Its in development and doesn’t work well in all programs. New features on Unity 5: Custom Colour on Unity Bar and Dash Switch Blur effect on & off on the Dash Unity Bar less sensitive when moving mouse to the left-hand side (no more making the Unity bar appear when trying to press Back button in Firefox) Other new features coming to Ubuntu 12.04: LTS Supported for 5 years Better support for Dual Monitors Global Menu can be switched off Unity Lens for using on Smart TVs Multiple Screenshots in Software Centre Customise wallpapers in Light DM wiki.ubuntu.com
