+ = not installed from Fedora, * = already available in CentOS

The default web browser and mail reader are Midori and Claws Mail, respectively.
But it also possible to use Mozilla Firefox (ESR) and Mozilla Thunderbird (ESR).

Package management is done with Yum Extender, the display manager is LightDM.

Style: Adwaita (default GTK3 theme)
Fonts: Dejavu (or the Liberation fonts)

Problem: The Fedora icon theme and background are not suitable for CentOS.
The alternatives are: GNOME, Tango - plus the alternative "GNOME Colors".

GNOME

Icon theme: GNOME
Background: default.jpg

The icons from MATE look slightly better than these new ones.

Tango

Icon theme: Tango
Background: default.png

The folder icons are missing from Tango, making a strange mix.

Brave

Icon theme: GNOME-Colors-Brave (Blue)
Background: Arc-Colors-Brave (Blue)

There is also the dark Shiki style available, that wasn't used.

Noble

Icon theme: GNOME-Colors-Noble (Purple)
Background: Arc-Colors-Noble (Purple)

This uses Shiki-Noble style, some typical problems can be seen.
