GNOME

claimed by The GNOME Foundation

The GNOME project provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.

Xfce (Core)

Xfce is a lightweight desktop environment for UNIX-like operating systems. It aims to be fast and low on system resources, while still being visually appealing and user friendly. This Ohloh project only contains the core components of Xfce!

Clutter Toolkit

Clutter is an open source (LGPLv2.1+) software library for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical user interfaces. It is a core part of MeeGo, and is supported by the open source community. Its development is sponsored by Intel. Clutter uses OpenGL for rendering (and ... [More] optionally OpenGL|ES for use on mobile and embedded platforms), but wraps an easy to use, efficient, flexible API around GL's complexity. Clutter enforces no particular user interface style, but provides a rich, generic foundation for higher-level toolkits tailored to specific needs. [Less]

Qt 5

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. Using Qt, you can write applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embedded operating systems without rewriting the source code.

Étoilé

The Etoile project aims to produce a document-centric desktop and post-desktop environment. The project is built on top of GNUstep, a high-quality Free Software implementation of the OpenStep specification from Sun and NeXT and popularised by Apple as Cocoa. The basic unit within an Etoile system ... [More] is the Object. These are arranged within Projects; an abstraction combining aspects of both folders and virtual desktops. Etoile uses highly modular and lightweight components in order to allow users to create their own workflow by reshaping or recombining provided activities, known as Services. [Less]

AfterStep

AfterStep is a window manager for the Unix X Window System. Originally based on the look and feel of the NeXTStep interface, it provides end users with a consistent, clean, and elegant desktop. The goal of AfterStep development is to provide for flexibility of desktop configuration, improving ... [More] aesthetics, and efficient use of system resources. Some of the distinguishing features of AfterStep compared to other window managers are its low usage of resources, stability and configurability. [Less]

Razor-qt

Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.

Visual Component Framework

The Visual Component Framework is a cross platform C++ application framework that offers a modern, clean architecture. It is divided into three major libraries. The FoundationKit provides services such as file access, streams, threads, synchronization primitives, and advanced RTTI features. The ... [More] GraphicsKit includes classes for working with both image and vector graphics, and has built in support for the Anti-Grain Graphics library. The ApplicationKit provides GUI controls, use of the Model-View-Control pattern, property and component editors, undo/redo support, drag-and-drop, clipboard services, application resources, and UI metrics and policy managers. Additional "Kits" adding advanced functionality include an HTML kit, Internet kit, JavaScript kit, Network kit, OpenGL kit, and RegEx kit [Less]

Backbone

Backbone is a user environment, using the GNUstep libraries, using the design of the NeXTstep/OPENSTEP user environment as a springboard; the idea is to do better, not just different.

Vexi

Vexi is a platform for creating and publishing Graphical User Interfaces that can be used over the Internet or an intranet. It features a very simple and powerful syntax based on XML and JavaScript, a set of complete, extensible, themable widgets, and a sandbox-like security model to protect users.
