NewBe 0.1.0 Alpha 1

This is the first public preview of NewBe, a Wayland-first GNOME desktop experience inspired by an evolved BeOS design language.

Included

  • Light and dark GTK 3/GTK 4 themes
  • GNOME Shell theme and preferences extension for GNOME 50
  • NewBe icon theme with 100% coverage of the 46-app baseline
  • Fifteen original cursor designs in four HiDPI sizes with 53 aliases
  • Seven original wallpapers registered with GNOME Background settings
  • User-scoped installer and reversible uninstaller
  • Reproducible archive, per-file manifest, SHA-256 checksum, and 14-stage verifier

Verify and install

Download both release files into the same directory, then run:

sha256sum --check NewBe-0.1.0-alpha.1.tar.gz.sha256
tar -xzf NewBe-0.1.0-alpha.1.tar.gz
cd NewBe-0.1.0-alpha.1
./scripts/verify.sh
./scripts/install.sh

Installation requires no root privileges and does not change or enable GNOME settings automatically.
