Here are the main improvements and new features, accompanied by plenty of sexy screenshots: new preferences window with plugin manager, and many new plugins, including WindowManager, Gcal, Gmail, RSS, Skype, and more.

Quicksilver (for OS X) is way better. And seriously, when you add the great themes like Showcase [ <a class="user" href="http://www.mygnu.com/julius/proj_qs.html">http://www.mygnu.com/julius/proj_qs.html</a> ] this becomes a sub-par knockoff.

If you were looking for an alternative on Linux there is always Katapult. It's more KDE specific though, and I don't think it's quite as extensible as Quicksilver. It appears Gnome-DO is following in the footsteps of Quicksilver, which is fantastic.

I cant help but notice how you theme looks a lot like KDE4's artwork at the moment.... Hmmmm...

Yeah me too. At work I find myself doing that or hitting the corners with my mouse only to be perplexed for a split second when nothing happens. Then I curse windows for being so user unfriendly.

Yes, but by virtue of being written in gtk-sharp, gnome-do pulls in nearly all of gnome and mono as dependencies.As an xfce user, I would prefer an app that only pulled in GTK. Since I run my stystem from a squashfs image in RAM, every megabyte counts, and putting all of gnome in the image hurts a lot.
