GNOME 2.30 Released; Farewell To GNOME 2.xx

That's Ubuntu. Ubuntu has a custom look and does not represent how default GNOME looks.

Screenshots? Or does this look exactly like the previous 100 releases of GNOME?

Are there any plans of providing a way for Gtk apps to not look like ass on KDE? Like the native Gtk look of Qt apps when ran under Gnome?

Just trollin'...

Nah, Gnome 2.30 looks like Windows NT 4 with splashes from Mac OS 9. It's an improvement over the previous Windows 98 look, that's for sure.

Still, kinda surprised this project isn't dead yet. I sense Microsoft's hand at work here, trying to destroy Linux through Novell (or something, not so sure about current tinfoil-hat theories in circulation.)

Any word on Evolution updates? (Not looking for anything specific, Evolution works more or less great!)

Not really. I'm actually impressed, because :

Nautilus features a number of user interface changes including a new split view mode

Split View ? Well I know KDE had that LONG time ago, nevertheless it's still nice that gnome will also have it.

Phoronix: GNOME 2.30 Released; Farewell To GNOME 2.xx

The GNOME community is very excited today as they have just released version 2.30 of the GNOME Desktop. Besides being another six-month upgrade to this popular Linux desktop that brings evolutionary upgrades, GNOME 2.30 was originally going to become GNOME 3.0, but that was pushed back by six months...
