Maybe something more traditional like the macOS desktop environment that had similar concepts but built with GNOME technology and Wayland.
So, er...GNOME? ;)
I for one am glad that after the initial period of rapid development after the 3.0 release, GNOME has settled into a relatively stable, comfortable, and usable design. I don't think we'd gain anything from starting all that again. If people are interested in experimenting with something like that as a Spin, cool, that's what we've got Spins for — but I'm not sure it's the best use of resources for Workstation.
I *would* like to see a little bit of distinguishing flair giving some separation between Fedora Workstation and stock upstream GNOME. I love the clean minimalism of the existing design and I don't want to stray from the productive partnership we have with upstream — or from the general perception of Fedora as the premier distro for GNOME. But, I would like people to easily recognize when Fedora is in use.
The desktop watermark with the default wallpaper is was a quick last-minute hack, but I think we can do better.
