Overall, Zorin gets it right in terms of looks. There are a whole lot of effects and animations in the distro and it can be controlled by compiz-config settings manager, in case you get bored after a few days. Additionally, there are hot corners to be configured. Windows + Tab keys when pressed together give the Windows 7 effect of open windows rotating on the screen – only in opposite direction from left to right.Ĭtrl+alt and up arrow gives all 4 windows sent back. To get the desktop cube, I had to press ctrl+alt and right or left arrow keys. Zorin developers have done quite a good job here.
Either most of the Gnome distros don’t offer these animations or are very difficult to configure for a Linux novice to get these simple basic animations. Zorin dark is specially attractive.Ĭompiz-config works like old Gnome 2 days with desktop cube configured.
I found all three of them to be good and depending upon mood, users can alter the themes. Theme changer has now an additional Zorin blue theme in addition to Zorin light and dark themes. In previous versions, I had to log out to apply the changed look. One thing I observed that I didn’t have to log out to implement the look. Gnome 2 one would please Gnome 2 fans and is not that bad. The Windows XP look is not as pleasing as Windows 7. It never looked remotely as pleasing as a Mac. The Mac OS X look, which was there in Zorin OS 8, is now thankfully gone. It now offers Windows XP and Gnome 2 look in addition to Windows 7. Zorin ships with a couple of packages to control aesthetics, namely: Further, by right clicking on an image, users can set it up as the wallpaper. Zorin ships with quite a few good looking Zorin wallpapers as shown below. Zorin OS default desktop looks like Windows 7, with a nice look sky blue wallpaper.
