** Description changed: UKUI is a lightweight desktop environment for Ubuntu Kylin. It provides a simpler and more enjoyable experience for browsing, searching, and managing your computer. UKUI is a fork of mate desktop environment, so the packages are also forks from those of mate. We have to fork a new road for the following reasons: (1) Most Chinese users are more familiar with interfaces similar to Windows. UKUI has reimplemented key interfaces such as menu、indicator、panel、control center etc. We ever released a preview version on 16.04 and received a lot of positive feedbacks. http://www.ubuntukylin.com/news/shownews.php?lang=en&id=620 http://www.ubuntukylin.com/ukylin/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=27461 (2) UKUI has made many many code and configuration changes from mate. Those changes are not consistent with the design of mate. (3) The further goal of UKUI is to simplify and unify the user interfaces and desktop development interface libraries which may make the desktop more compatible and acceptable. Until now, We have rewrote the main user interfaces and changed the conflicts between UKUI and mate. We have checked that UKUI can coexist with mate and has no effects on other packages.
