OSDir Application Screenshots

Posted by timothy on from the exhaustingly-exhaustive dept.

Chris writes "Did you know that OSDir now does frequently updated screenshots of open source apps, including Evolution 2.0, KDE 3.3, Gnome 2.8, Enlightenment DR 16.7.1, Thunderbird 0.8, and YaST? Have a look!" These screenshot tours are a great way to see how polished (or not) a particular piece of software is getting, especially when you absolutely have to know what every menu item holds.

  1. I can't see much of the "polish"... by FooAtWFU · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can't see most of the "polish" they're talking about because I'm looking at a lousy, badly dithered 255-color GIF file. I mean, come on! If there was any polish and shine it disappeared in the noise diffusion. What on earth are they using as their screenshot/conversion tool? Give me a 24-bit PNG already! =b

  2. These are distribution screenshots! by twener · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The screenshots show the modified and tweaked desktops of Fedora and Conectiva, not vanilla GNOME or KDE desktops.
