I also like crosswords and word games, and once it occurred to me that “pixel” could be made up from the initials of words like Pi and Xwindows, the name stuck in my head and never quite went away. It was a nice reminder of my days learning to program in BASIC on the Sinclair ZX81 nowadays, everything from your TV to your phone has pixels on it, but back then it was a uniquely “computer-y” word and concept. One of the things I said (at least partly in jest) to my colleagues in those first few weeks was that I’d quite like to rename the desktop environment once it was a bit more Pi-specific, and I had the name “pixel” in my mind about two weeks in.

So today, we’re announcing the release of the PIXEL desktop, which will ship with the Foundation’s Raspbian image from now on. Stuff has slowly been becoming more and more like my original concept for the desktop with the latest changes, I think the desktop has reached the point where it’s a complete product in its own right and should have its own name.

It’s actually surprisingly easy to hack about with the LXDE desktop once you get your head around what all the bits do, and since then I’ve been slowly chipping away at the bits that I felt would most benefit from tweaking. Well, that was two years ago, and I’ve learnt an awful lot since then. I clearly had a bit of a learning curve in front of me… But I had no idea where to start in terms of changing Raspbian. It was obvious that there was a lot that could be done in terms of making it a better experience for the user, and I spent many years working in user interface design in previous jobs. I only had the vaguest idea of what I was going to be doing, but on the first day Eben and I sat down and played with the Raspbian desktop for half an hour, then he asked me “do you think you can make it better?”īear in mind that at this point I’d barely ever used Linux or Xwindows, never mind made any changes to them, so when I answered “hmmm – I think so”, it was with rather more confidence than I actually felt. It was just over two years ago when I walked into Pi Towers for the first time.

We recommend everyone install these fixes, whether you updated an existing image or you downloaded a new image. This has now been fixed with an updated Chromium build. This has been traced to a set of outdated Google API keys included in the version of the browser shipped in this image. Some users reported issues with syncing their Google accounts in Chromium.

This has been traced to a bug in the icon handling code for the menu which has now been fixed. Some users have reported problems with the main menu crashing since installing the PIXEL update.
