class=”article first_main_article” readability=”45″>

Whom ye lay under the GNOME desktop classic , something I have repeated more than once: the answer is Xfce, the refuge of those who love GNOME 2. It is a simple, lightweight and stable, slowly gaining functionality. In fact, it is very easy to stop with the two panels of old and almost the same options.

Once

discussed the advantages of Xfce, we will see a “trick” to get the old menu GNOME 2 as you can see in the image above these lines (I confess that I never ended that system, but I guess many of you it’s the opposite).

The trick is really

But how to find the here, but where the author, XunilinuX , as originally published: in DesdeLinux. Mola mola ¿or

OpenCDE is a free implementation of CDE ( Common Desktop Environment ), a desktop environment usually found in commercial UNIX systems Solaris, AIX and HP- UX .

CDE

born of collaboration between HP, IBM, Novell and Sun Microsystems in 1993, and since 96 is maintained by The Open Group. established itself as the standard desktop de facto proprietary Unix systems and was even carried and used by the Red Hat Linux distribution.

This environment is based on the Motif graphics library, but never stalled well to Linux due to the proprietary nature (and payment) of this development and growing maturity as a free environments GNOME, which already by 2001 it became the default desktop in some UNIX systems themselves who fathered CDE, and Solaris.

OpenCDE

began its development in 2010 with the intention of reproducing the appearance, features and functionality of the CDE under an entirely opensource and simple. Declaring their intention to maintain a low number of dependencies, which to date are only 2: openmotif (Motif source code developed by The Open Group) and WIN motifmm (self-development the project).

official website of the project we sources downloads, screenshots and documentation to install. In addition to a forum that brings together developers and users who need help or report bugs.

The project is still active, with its latest stable released on July 2, 2011 . It offers a retro-looking interface, lightweight and modular. A PHP 5.x !

Users of the new interfaces proposed by Ubuntu (Unity) and Fedora (GNOME Shell) surely they miss some components that came to them very well. The bottom panel with the list of applications or workspaces are lost in both, but now you can recall GNOME and GNOME 3 Shell .

gnome bottom panel shell extension 500x281 Retrieves the bottom panel in GNOME 3

we can use

Bottom Panel, a new extension for Shell GNOME as its name indicates http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/bottom-panel-gnome2-like-panel-gnome.html and the ability to create new spaces or delete multiple If you click the right mouse button.

Again we have

in WebUpd8, where they have even posted a video in which the extension is in action. Apparently there are still some problems workspaces dynamic , but is that the extension was designed with the idea that these dynamic work spaces would be disabled.

many I’m sure glad some day, so if you want to use the extension, can install as part of a pack of extensions developed by Ron Yorston called “GNOME2-like user experience for GNOME Shell “, which seeks to bring many of the capabilities of the” old “interfaces for GNOME 2.x.

To install you will have to download the pack to a folder of your choice (Creadle first, best not to remove it straight into the home or it will install all extensions at once). Then with Ctrl + H in Nautilus can see hidden files and folders, browse .local / share / gnome-shell / extensions -path that is created when unzipping the file, and copy the folder “Bottom_Panel @ rmy.pobox.com “ our directory ~ / .local / share / gnome-shell / extensions / . Done!
