The highly anticipated GNOME 3.16 desktop environment for Linux kernel-based operating systems has been announced and has been declared by the GNOME development team as the best GNOME release yet.

The first thing you will notice when using the GNOME 3.16 desktop environment, no matter if you’re installing a fresh copy of it or you've just updated your existing GNOME 3.14 installation, is the modern, flat theme painted with a dark gray color.

What we still don’t like about GNOME, is the poor choice of fonts, including their size, and icon theme. Those of you who tried or are installing GNOME 3.14 know exactly what we’re talking about, as many people complained a lot about this in the past. By default, everything is “big” in GNOME and we have no idea why. Some will go as far to say that it’s a tablet interface on their computers. Full Story |
