*Linux Mint 12 is based on Ubuntu 11.10. | |||
Linux Mint 12 comes with a brand new desktop, built with Gnome 3 and MGSE. | |||
"MGSE" (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions) is a desktop layer on top of Gnome 3 that makes it possible for you to use Gnome 3 in a traditional way. | |||
You can disable all components within MGSE to get a pure Gnome 3 experience, or you can enable all of them to get a Gnome 3 desktop that is similar to what you’ve been using before. | |||
Of course you can also pick and only enable the components you like to design your own desktop. | |||
The main features in MGSE are: | |||
* The bottom panel | |||
* The application menu | |||
* The window list | |||
* A task-centric desktop (i.e. you switch between windows, not applications) | |||
* Visible system tray icons | |||
