Performance testing was producing inconsistent values at different times in the day since the GNOME default background is animated and sometimes has a single layer, and sometimes two blended layers. So we have consistent numbers, install a simple animated background with GNOME Shell that has 40-year long transition ending in 2030,a and set an environment variable in gnome-shell-perf-tool so that the background is override with that background. (The background depends on files installed by gnome-backgrounds; we assume that the person running performance tests is doing so within the scope of a full GNOME install.) https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=734610
GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience.
