Portal:Pantheon
The traditional Unix like substitutability of components is sacrificed by a design philosophy that streamlines the user interface for better global aesthetics and out-of-the-box experience inspired by popular proprietary desktops. To do that, the Elementary project enhances the Gtk+ libraries with its own extensions for improved usability and a unique design. It also comes with its own set of programs that all adhere to the visual guidelines like: text editor, file browser, terminal emulator, desktop calendar, e-Mail client, software gallery, video player, audio player and etc. To simplify application creation designed for Elementary, an application development framework (Granite) was created. The preferred programming language is Vala.

At this time we are looking for new Pantheon maintainers!
Currently, there are two branches of repositories: experimental and stable. The stable branch is only available for Tumbleweed.
Adding the stable Pantheon branch repository for Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper ar -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/Pantheon:/Branch/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/ Pantheon_stable
Installing Pantheon desktop:
sudo zypper install patterns-pantheon-pantheon
Now you can choose Pantheon as desktop environment at your login screen.
In order to use the experimental branch, you need to have the Gnome:Next repository including dependend factory repositories enabled.
