The number of available services within Nautilus is determined by which option you choose. After we selected Nautilus in our applications menu, we were quickly up and running. Nautilus greets its users with an interface that's far from intimidating. Icons are large and nicely detailed, text is anti-aliased and easy to read, desktop colors aren't garish, and navigation buttons are intuitive. Two notable desktop customization options are icon labeling and setting window backgrounds.
Users can even import images to create their own emblems.
Setting windows backgrounds isn't new, but the way it's implemented in Nautilus is simple and cool. Just select a color or pattern and drag it onto the window. After only a few hours of use, we realized what a unique timesaver Nautilus is. Once icons are enlarged, users can see the actual contents within a file rather than its representative icon. It beats having to launch the associated application to just figure out what's in the file.
