It aims to develop software development frameworks, select useful desktop applications, and create the programs that manage application launching, file handling, as well as window and task management.

GNOME is a part of the GNU Project and compatible with various Unix-like operating systems - mainly Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris. The original name for GNOME was GNU Network Object Model Environment, although it is now known as GNOME for short. The GNOME project emphasizes on simplicity, usability, and making things "just work."

Royal's visually pleasing icon theme complements the simplicity and usability of GNOME, making for an enjoyable desktop experience. So, if you're looking to enhance your GNOME environment, Royal is certainly worth considering!
