Nautilus Thumbnail Improvement Lands in Lucid
A nice surprise to me – and many of you who commented on our earlier report on Nautilus adding a nicer border around thumbnails – is that the latest upstream release of Nautilus in Lucid includes it amongst other changes in the latest update: – Don’t show weird border around desktop Correctly put focus on [...]
Nicer thumbnail borders coming to a Nautilus near you

Nautilus-Elementary: Where’s it going? To Awesome-ville, that’s where.
Further to our in-depth look at the Future of Nautilus a week back, the Nautilus-Elementary team – who we cited heavily in that previous article – have posted their own plans for the unkempt file-manager. Whilst most of their plans were discussed in our previous article, there was one very juicy gem attached – a [...]
The Future Of Nautilus
Nautilus – the default file manager in Ubuntu – has an interface many consider to be awful and overly complex.

Nautilus Just Got Gorgeous
The Nautilus file-manager included in Ubuntu is… well.. crowded. We already saw some changes developers are taking to tame to the vast areas of wasted space and useless buttons in our over-view of Ubuntu Lucid Alpha 2 and prior to that we drooled over a ‘Simplified Nautilus‘ – which is sadly no longer updated.
