Read this book first before starting application design and development. Note: In this manual, the terms (the) Common Desktop Environment and the desktop are used interchangeably. Outside of the Preface, this manual omits the Common Desktop Environment prefix when referring to a Common Desktop Environment development or run–time environment manual. For example, the Common Desktop Environment: Programmer’s Overview is referred to as the Programmer’s Overview. Who Should Use This Book Read the Programmer’s Overview if you are: • An application developer who wants to develop a new Common Desktop Environment application, or integrate an existing OSF/Motif or OPEN LOOK application into the desktop • A manager, architect, or project lead interested in designing a project involving applications that will run on the Common Desktop Environment desktop For the remainder of this manual, OSF/Motif is referred to as Motif. How This Book Is Organized The Programmer’s Overview is divided into two parts. Part I contains an architectural overview of the Common Desktop Environment, including high–level information on both the run–time and development environments. Part II contains information useful to know before developing an application, and describes the development environment components. This section provides brief descriptions of the chapters and appendixes contained in this manual. “Architectural Overview” presents an overview of the Common Desktop Environment architecture. “Development Environment Considerations” discusses information you should know about the environment before you start to develop an application. “Developing an Application” presents information specific to developing a Common Desktop Environment application, such as naming conventions and guidelines to follow. “Portability and Maintenance” discusses issues pertaining to writing portable and maintainable applications. “Basic Application Integration” summarizes how to make your application launch–integrated (that is, started by double–clicking an icon on the desktop). “Recommended Integration” provides overviews of all components and guidelines that you should use so your application has the same look and feel as, and interoperates well with, other Common Desktop Environment desktop applications. “Optional Integration” provides overviews of the components to incorporate into your application as needed for added functionality. “Common Desktop Environment Motif” describes the differences between Motif 1.2.3 and Common Desktop Environment Motif. Preface v “Component and Guide Reference” lists in alphabetical order all development environment components and guidelines, with associated library, header files, and documentation.

  • UKUI: a Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable
    2016 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science (AICS 2016) ISBN: 978-1-60595-411-0 UKUI: A Lightweight Desktop Environment Based on Pluggable Framework for Linux Distribution Jie YU1, Lu SI1,*, Jun MA1, Lei LUO1, Xiao-dong LIU1, Ya-ting KUANG2, Huan PENG2, Rui LI1, Jin-zhu KONG2 and Qing-bo WU1 1College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China 2Tianjin KYLIN Information Technology Co., Ltd, Tianjin, China *[email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: Desktop environment, Ubuntu, User interface. Abstract. Ubuntu is an operating system with Linux kernel based on Debian and distributed as free and open-source software. It uses Unity as its default desktop environment, which results in more difficulties of usage for Microsoft Windows users. In this paper, we present a lightweight desktop environment named UKUI based on UbuntuKylin, the official Chinese version of Ubuntu, for Linux distribution. It is designed as a pluggable framework and provides better user experience during human-computer interaction. In order to evaluate the performance of UKUI, a set of testing bench suits were performed on a personal computer. Overall, the results showed that UKUI has better performance compared with Unity. Introduction Linux is a freely available operating system (OS) originated by Linux Torvalds and further developed by thousands of others. Typically, Linux is packaged in a form known as a Linux distribution for both desktop and server use. Some of the most popular mainstream Linux distributions are Red Hat [1], Ubuntu [2], Arch [3], openSUSY [4], Gentoo [5], etc. There are several desktop environments available for nowadays modern Linux distributions, such as XFCE [6], GNOME [7], KDE [8] and LXDE [9].

  • The GNOME Desktop Environment
    The GNOME desktop environment Miguel de Icaza ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Elliot Lee ([email protected]) Federico Mena ([email protected]) Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM Tom Tromey ([email protected]) April 27, 1998 Abstract We present an overview of the free GNU Network Object Model Environment (GNOME). GNOME is a suite of X11 GUI applications that provides joy to users and hackers alike. It has been designed for extensibility and automation by using CORBA and scripting languages throughout the code. GNOME is licensed under the terms of the GNU GPL and the GNU LGPL and has been developed on the Internet by a loosely-coupled team of programmers. 1 Motivation Free operating systems1 are excellent at providing server-class services, and so are often the ideal choice for a server machine. However, the lack of a consistent user interface and of consumer-targeted applications has prevented free operating systems from reaching the vast majority of users — the desktop users. As such, the benefits of free software have only been enjoyed by the technically savvy computer user community. Most users are still locked into proprietary solutions for their desktop environments. By using GNOME, free operating systems will have a complete, user-friendly desktop which will provide users with powerful and easy-to-use graphical applications. Many people have suggested that the cause for the lack of free user-oriented appli- cations is that these do not provide enough excitement to hackers, as opposed to system- level programming. Since most of the GNOME code had to be written by hackers, we kept them happy: the magic recipe here is to design GNOME around an adrenaline response by trying to use exciting models and ideas in the applications.
