gTweakUI is a collection of extra preference dialogs for GNOME 2.0+. It is a front end to GConf, for power users.

gTweakUI 0.0.6 has been released.So far we have three dialogs:

  • Extra Menu Preferences
  • Extra Session Preferences
  • Extra Nautilus Preferences

This release is beta but it is very usable right now. We plan to add more dialogs soon including galeon, panels, panel objects(menus etc) and gtk2 theme colors.
If you want to help out we need translators (41 strings at the moment), coders, artists, etc.. feel free to join the mailing list on our homepage and introduce yourself.

Doesn't gTweakUI go against GNOME's "one size fits all" philosphy? Shouldn't there be a big flamewar about how the default settings in GNOME (like the Open Dialog and spatial Nautilus) are the only ways that people should be doing things? (And yeah, if you're some parasite of a human that doesn't like spatial navigation, you should be forced to dig around in gconf-editor).

Is this really a better solution? Now the apps provide no useful configuration, but users needs to load up some hack app that contains a bucket full of random options to make their experience non-painful.

Doesn't anyone see something wrong here?
