As one who loves GNUstep/WindowMaker, but kind of gags about Gnome while tolerating it, I don't know exactly how to feel about this one. It looks... interesting?

You can always theme Gnome to look like GNUStep...

It's good to know there's still interest in GNUstep. You barely ever see work with it or on it any more, Sony's work being a rare exception and only temporary.

My understanding is that the audio processing done by shazam is done mostly on linux boxes running GNUstep.

This is a serious question, not a troll. I seriously want to know why someone would want to do this. If you want to run Gnome, just run Gnome. What is the difference between running Gnome + GNUStep vs. just running Gnome normally?

This effort allows GNUStep applications to share GNOME configurations (themes, menus, icons, etc). It's designed for people who want to develop Cocoa applications in Linux without dealing with the horrid-looking NeXTStep theme.

I understand what you mean, but I don't think it's horrid. I would call it retro-chic.

Apreche2• 16 years ago

Why not just make a new theme? Integrating with Gnome seems a lot more work.

I love the NeXT desktop...takes me back.
