Gnomeassociated

Gnomeassociated is a term used in software contexts to denote that a component, project, or artifact is associated with the GNOME project or its ecosystem. It is not an official designation from the GNOME Foundation, nor is it standardized.

In practice, gnomeassociated signals compatibility or alignment with GNOME technologies, such as the GTK toolkit, GNOME Shell, libadwaita design system, and the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. Applications or packages described as gnomeassociated often aim to work well within GNOME environments and may implement desktop integration features like proper application menus, notifications, and file handling.

Usage varies by project. The label may appear in documentation, metadata, or repository tags, but there is no formal certification or specification. Users should verify actual support for GNOME components rather than relying solely on the label.

Relationship with branding: gnomeassociated is distinct from the GNOME trademark and official branding; projects should avoid implying official endorsement.
