In April 2003, Foré, his brother and many others began developing an open-source desktop from scratch. The concept was to create the next-generation desktop for the GNOME desktop. As part of the idea, they set out to give users the ability to customize their own desktop with new widgets and themes. Foré was impressed by the open nature of the desktop's design and thought the design could be used to create a more user-friendly design. They put the concept to a successful test in 2003 and released it to the world, but in the end it felt less than stellar. In fact, they were still trying to get the basic desktop to look like the GNOME desktop.

In 2007, the "elementary" project was born. Foré's project began with the goal of creating a desktop that felt like the base GNOME desktop. The first desktop to be built was based on GNOME 2, and his team worked to develop a way to integrate it with other GNOME apps. They were quick to point out that they were using an old GNOME desktop, but they were still using GNOME 2's own icon set. Foré's first stable desktop was built using a base GNOME 2 system, and his team followed up with a desktop based on GNOME 3, which was developed on GNOME 2.

The next few months were filled with development of the GNOME desktop and a lot of work on the desktop, and the idea was to make something that would look like GNOME 3's base desktop. To that end, they started working on a desktop called a "nautilus-elementary," which was built with elementary OS 4. As mentioned above, the current version of GNOME 2 does not support the new GNOME 2 base GNOME system. The nautilus-elementary desktop was a bit more ambitious than the GNOME 2 desktop, but the nautilus-elementary desktop was more than its fair share of new features as well.

The nautilus-elementary desktop had been around for around a decade, and it was still mostly available as an upgrade to GNOME 3. In this time, the development team was doing a lot of different things: the development of a new GNOME desktop had been done on GNOME 2. In 2005, forked and released Ubuntu's "next-gen" GNOME 3 desktop, and in 2006 the nautilus-elementary desktop was released. A major addition to the design of GNOME 3 was a new desktop icon set called "nautilus-elementary," which looked and behaved like a base GNOME desktop
