Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.


We haven't posted about elementary OS Luna in a while, so I though I'd make a short video with the latest build, so you can see how the desktop looks like lately and the elementary apps progress.


In the video, you'll see a quick preview of the default elementary OS Luna desktop and applications:
  • Geary - the default email client, is developed by Yorba (who's also behind Shotwell) in collaboration with the elementary team.
  • Pantheon Files - the default file manager, is a Marlin fork
  • Maya - the default calendar app
  • Pantheon Terminal
  • Plank - the default application switcher (dock)
  • Wingpanel - the top bar/panel
  • Switchboard - control center
  • Scratch - text editor
  • Noise - the default music player, a BeatBox fork
  • Slingshot - the application launcher
  • elementary OS GTK and icon theme
  • the elementary OS Luna default LightDM greeter

In case you were wondering when elementary OS Luna will be released, well, there's no date yet. See this elementary OS blog post for info: When it's Ready.

For the video, I've used the latest elementary OS Luna unstable build from here (20120715.iso).
