Gnome 2.8 RC1 Released

Posted by michael on from the someday-we'll-update-the-gnome-icon dept.

FlipmodePlaya writes "Linux Today reports the first release candidate for Gnome 2.8 has been released. A look at the new stuff can be found here. Notably, the possible inclusion of Evolution, and some networking goodies. My opinion: the GUI changes look too much like Windows/Internet Explorer for my tastes; I guess it's not just KDE."

    Why do they have to make it look so windows-y? First, thanks for the screenies (mods, help him out, here).

    Why do they cram all the buttons to the top right corner? Why not spread them out? Ah! Frustrating.

    Later, he admitted that he could also have put a text label on both buttons, but back then he thought that were ugly.

    'LEFT' and 'RIGHT'?

    I can imagine the jokes about Mac users that would have ensued... ;-)
