Fedora 8 Test 3 aka Fedora 7.92 is out now and available for download from Fedora mirrors. I downloaded the Test 3 Live CD iso and just tested in Virtual Machine qemu. Believe me, Fedora 8 is going to be a huge improvement in basic graphics in Fedora. The graphical interface is far better than the previous release and it’ll be a delight to work on the new default Gnome theme called Nodoka especially designed for Fedora 8.The new release has got glassy/glossy looks everywhere from buttons to icons to menus.The login screen has come a long way. The electronics spin of Fedora 8 will definitely be a gift for people studying electronics at engineering level as they have introduced some packages related to circuit design and all.
I am happy to see that eclipse will be back in Fedora 8. Also, Fedora 8 comes with codecBuddy which will help to guide people to use free alternatives of audio/video codecs. A better network support is guaranteed for sure 🙂 Also, developes are trying to limit the use of desktop environment as root. In Test 3 if you try to login as root, the gdm will display a warning.
If you want to browse complete feature list for Fedora 8 Test 3, it is available here.

@Wassup
didn’t you see the login screen pic !!!
Congrats for the project buddy … party time 🙂
am joining everyone to congratulate you 🙂
The GUI looks exactly like 7, just a change of theme does not make it “a huge improvement in basic graphics in Fedora” and it is not true that “The graphical interface is far better than the previous release”.
Even the login screen can be change in 7 to look like 8…
so it is either that you have not seen Fedora 7,, or your eyes can see things that I can’t…
@Fahad
I think the second is true 😛
and by the way have you used it or just predicting by looking at the shots.
PS : You can get the same effect in even FC6 or even FC5. Why do you use F7 ?
