The menu will probably remind you of the GNOME Shell Activities Overview while the indicators on the bottom dock look more or less like those used in elementary OS Luna. But, unlike Pantheon and GNOME Shell, <b>Deepin Desktop  uses Compiz</b>. I didn't look close into this, but it seems that the Compiz version in Linux Deepin comes with some DDE-specific patches.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Each desktop component has various useful features, such as:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">- <b>Application launcher</b>: quickly create a desktop shortcut or add an application to the dock via right click; <b>on the desktop, you can drag and drop an application on to another one to create an application group</b>, useful to keep your desktop organized - you can easily rename the app group, ungroup the applications, delete it and so on:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/linux-deepin12.12-application-launcher.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="Linux Deepin 12.12 Application launcher" src="http://img.netupd8.com/linux-deepin12.12-application-launcher_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzFn4_lYSbEU10MgzQ0zVZjj9mGfQHM_rlFW_GoYoTxqYYH4iFl_ipt6vryCj5_-CCpXcy846e9C13fl2s52dnNVqgL2BXTUSOQtthxYu_pDq6di0DrUH4iVGEPGyx_l7y7Cotk8J-xo/s1600/linux-deepin12.12-app-group.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQzFn4_lYSbEU10MgzQ0zVZjj9mGfQHM_rlFW_GoYoTxqYYH4iFl_ipt6vryCj5_-CCpXcy846e9C13fl2s52dnNVqgL2BXTUSOQtthxYu_pDq6di0DrUH4iVGEPGyx_l7y7Cotk8J-xo/s1600/linux-deepin12.12-app-group.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">- The <b>dock</b> <b>displays live previews for open windows</b>.
