1.1.1. Vaade ja tunnetus
GNOME 2.12 introduces a new standard theme, also known as "ClearLooks", making your desktop more attractive while remaining simple and uncluttered.
1.1.2. Failihaldur
The file manager, also known as Nautilus, has several user interface improvements in GNOME 2.12. Most noticeably, the list view can now show files in directories, allowing you to navigate down to a sub-folder and open a new folder window only when necessary. Also for your convenience, the Bookmarks menu now shows the same locations as the File Chooser dialog.
In GNOME 2.12, dragging text from an application to a folder window will save you time by creating a new text document. You'll also notice that GNOME now shows a preview of the text being dragged, instead of just an icon.
There are also major improvements to the browse mode, making it similar to GNOME's existing File Chooser dialog:
- Places and Bookmarks may be displayed in a sidepane.
- The location is now shown with the GNOME's path bar instead of a text entry. The text path is still available via the Control-L keyboard shortcut.
GNOME's simple CD-burning feature can now copy Audio CDs as well as data CDs. Just right-click on the CD after inserting it.
1.1.3. Lõikepuhver
GNOME now remembers data that you copy, even when you close the window from which it was copied. This long-standing problem has finally been solved without the performance problems usually associated with clipboard daemons, by allowing applications to explicitly request the use of this feature.
1.1.4. Paneel
Paneel, mida tavaliselt näeb ekraani ülemises ja alumises osas võimaldab käivitada rakendusi ja juhtida erinevaid töökeskkonna külgi. GNOME 2.12's on võimalik luua ka vertikaalseid paneele, mis sisaldavad menüüsid, seda tänu keeratud menüüde toetusele.
You might also notice that applications may now flash their names in the Window List, to indicate that they are ready. For instance, an instant messenger application could flash its icon when a friend sends a message.

1.2.1. Videomängija
GNOME's "Totem" video player, uses GNOME's GStreamer multimedia framework. In GNOME 2.12, the video player now has a playlist sidebar instead of a separate window, and supports DVD menus and subtitles.
1.2.2. CD Ripping
GNOME's CD ripper easily extracts audio from CDs for later playback on your PC or portable music player. And now, you can play tracks before extracting them. This latest version can also extract files to networked servers or removable devices, using GNOME's VFS system.
1.2.3. Veebibrauser
Kuigi GNOME'i veebibrauser "Epiphany" baseerub Mozillal, moodustab see GNOME'i töökeskkonnaga koos ühe terviku. 2.12 versiooni täiustused sisaldavad endas
- Otsinguriba, nii nagu Firefox'il, mis enne oli olemas Epiphany laiendusena. See lubab lehel teksti otsida ilma et peidaks osa lehest otsingudialoogi akna taha.
- Selgemad veateated, kuvatuna otse brauseris.
- Use of the standard GNOME printing system.
- Järjehoidjaid saab nüüd üle võrgu välja jagada.
1.2.4. Evolution
GNOME's integrated Email and Groupware client, Evolution, supports traditional mail setups as well as Novell Groupwise and Microsoft Exchange. With Evolution you can read, write, and manage your emails, contacts, and calendar events.
In GNOME 2.12 evolution now has an easier-to-use menu layout and an improved attachments bar, and allows inline PGP encryption and PGP signatures. In addition, the calendar now allows delegation of your meeting attendance.
Groupwise proxy and IMAP accounts are now supported, and some compatibility problems were solved for people also using Mozilla Thunderbird with IMAP.
1.3. GNOME'i juhtpaneel
- 1.3.1. Minu info
- 1.3.2. Hiire eelistused
1.4. Tööriistad
GNOME'i tööriistadele on lisandunud järgmiseid täiustusi:
- 1.4.1. Dokumendivaataja
- 1.4.2. Pildivaataja
- 1.4.3. Help Viewer
- 1.4.4. Otsing
- 1.4.5. Sõnaraamat
1.4.1. Dokumendivaataja
GNOME 2.12 has a new document viewer, also known as "Evince;" to replace the previously separate PDF and .ps document viewers. This new viewer is simpler and more convenient, with a useful search feature and the ability to show several pages at once.
1.4.2. Pildivaataja
GNOME'i pildivaataja suudab nüüd näidata pilte koos värviparandustega, kasutades selleks ICC profiile.
1.4.3. Help Viewer
GNOME's Help Viewer, Yelp, now uses the same engine as Epiphany, the web browser. The look, feel, speed and stability of Yelp have been vastly improved.
Yelp also has improved support for locale specific formatting, allowing documentation to be rendered using language specific formatting rules, an excellent complement to the new documentation translation system, that allows translators to translate help documents as easily as applications.
1.4.4. Otsing
GNOME'i otsingutööriist näitab nüüd piltide pisipilte tavaikoonide asemel.
1.5. Mängud
GNOME's games put extra fun in the desktop. The Mines game has some improvements in GNOME 2.12 - for instance, the first click is guaranteed to clear a useful number of squares so you don't have to blindly click and hope you don't hit a mine, and an explosion graphic is drawn when you set off a mine.
