Salam,

You used to make some? Like what?

Why would you ever want to do something like that? To better ask the
question, what is so special about the "Arab and Islamic world" needs
that would be only served by a complete rewrite of a desktop
environment? Because, ig GNOME and KDE both already serve most (if not
all) those needs, it makes absolutely no sense to write a new one _just_
for that purpose.

It is possible, but not feasible -- to put it in short.
