GNOME Shell is the core
user interface of the
GNOME desktop environment starting with version 3,
which was released on April 6, 2011. It provides basic functionality like switching between
windows and launching applications. It replaces
GNOME Paneland other software components from GNOME 2 to offer a user experience that breaks from the previous model of
desktop metaphor, used in earlier versions of GNOME.
GNOME Shell uses
Mutter, a
compositing window manager based on the
Metacity window manager, and the
Clutter toolkit to provide visual effects and
hardware acceleration.
According to GNOME Shell maintainer Owen Taylor, it is set up as a Mutter plugin largely written in Javascript.
FEATURES :
An overview at a glance
The Activities Overview is the portal to all your computing
activities. Quickly accessible using the top-left hot corner or windows
key, it provides a single place to access windows, applications and even
messages. The dash allows you to see which applications are currently
running and the workspace switcher can be used to group windows.
Integrated messaging
GNOME 3 incorporates a unique, built-in messaging system. Messages
can be directly responded to from notification popups, and you can
access your previous communications from the Messaging Tray which is
always available from the bottom of the screen. This means that holding a
conversation does not require repeated window switching.
Everything at your fingertips
Search is central to GNOME 3. Applications, windows, documents and
even settings can all be quickly and easily searched for from one place.
Accessing GNOME 3′s search is as simple as pressing the windows key and
starting to type. This is a great feature for people who like things to
happen fast.
Easy system settings
GNOME 3 includes an integrated, easy-to-use settings interface.
Finding settings is straightforward, and can be done either by browsing
or searching. The GNOME 3 system settings include everything that you
need and nothing that you don’t.
