Pantheon (Desktop Environment)

The Pantheon desktop environment is built on top of the GNOME software base, i.e. GTK, GDK, Cairo, GLib, (including GObject and GIO), GVfs, Vala and Tracker. The desktop allows for multiple workspaces to organize the user's workflow.^[1] Pantheon applications that are designed and developed by elementary include:

Pantheon Greeter: session manager based on LightDM^{[apps 1]}
Gala: window manager^{[apps 2]}
Wingpanel: top panel, similar in function to GNOME Shell's top panel^{[apps 3]}
Slingshot: application launcher located in WingPanel^{[apps 4]}
Plank: dock (upon which Docky is based)^{[apps 5]}^{[apps 6]}
Switchboard: settings application (or control panel)^{[apps 7]}
Pantheon Mail: e-mail client written in Vala and based on WebKitGTK^{[apps 8]}
Calendar: desktop calendar^{[apps 9]}
Music: audio player^{[apps 10]}
Code: code-focused text editor, comparable to gedit or leafpad.^[2]^{[apps 11]}
Terminal: terminal emulator^{[apps 12]}
Files (formerly called Marlin): file manager^{[apps 13]}
Installer: Installer built in partnership with System76.^[3]^[4]^[5]^{[apps 14]}

Bryan Lunduke of Network World wrote that the Pantheon desktop environment, elementary OS's centerpiece, was among the best of 2016.^[6] Pantheon is also being released as an optional work-in-progress desktop environment in GeckoLinux. In addition to its x86 installer, Elementary offers various experimental builds that run on ARM devices such as the Pinebook Pro and Raspberry Pi 4.^[7]
