GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 Screenshot Demo

linuxbeta writes "GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 has just been released. There is a nice screenshot demo here. Also known as 2.9.90, GNOME 2.10 Beta 1 is the first pre-release intended for wide public scrutiny before the final release in March. It is packed full of tasty GNOME goodness. This release is a feature frozen snapshot primarily intended for wide public scrutiny before the final GNOME 2.10 release in March. Like the good old days of Linux kernel development, GNOME uses odd minor version numbers to indicate development status. Please check the 2.9 start page for more info. - gnomedesktop.org/node/2138"

Shitty SS's

Yeah... 640x480 screenshots with a shitty theme really show us the changes to Gnome.

Is it me, or does this look worse than the stock ubuntu install Gnome?

Re:Fonts look nice

[daijo78]

Would be nice with some comments and screenshots showing whats new. I really couldnt tell any difference from the previous releases (could have tried hrder but I m lazy:) Also that theme muust be the most ugly one they could have choosen...

Difference? Difference!

Look at the version number!!! It's one more than the other versions! C'mon! Just look!

What, does it go to 11 ?

I didn't think there could be much room left for new invention in volume controls.

Backwards?

[hokputooy]

2.10 is actually 2.1 mathematically.

Wow!

I can't wait to see the ScreeShots of Gnome 2.10 Beta 2!

Innovation at Slashdot!

To those who say the Slashdot staff are resting on their laurels, I present you with what I believe to be the first case of single-story duplicity!

It took you 10 years, and you still can't see Gnome's theme feature.

Even worse, you're considered informative on slashdot.

Let's do the timewarp again!

It's called either a pre-emptive dupe, or a demidupe.

Gnome Sucks

[Icephreak1]

I never did like Gnome. It reminds me of those big utility crayons you give to first-graders to teach them dexterity.

Enlightenment. Now that's a man's GUI.

yeah, the "Audio" tab should be "Sound", and the "Video" tab should be "TV"

Re:I love gray, but GNOME ain't gray

[Leo McGarry]

Ah that depends on your perspective. Assuming the poster is writing English, I think you'll find that they spelt "colour" correctly.

I'm startled by the number of people who didn't get the joke.

In Commonwealth countries, the word we use as a synonym for hue is spelled "colour," and the word we use for a shade of black is spelled "grey." In the US, it's "color" and "gray."

The guy wrote "colour" and "gray," which means that one of those two words was misspelled. But we can't know which one, see, because we don't know from context which regionalism he's using. So when I said that he misspelled one of them, but didn't specify which, I was being clever.

Get it? It's a joke, ya dumbasses. A statement meant primarily to amuse. And along come all these dipshits who think they know what's going on and feel compelled to correct me. Sheesh.

(By the way, anti-Americanism is so 2003. It's 2005 now, the year of the ink-stained fingertip. Get with the program.)
