The question now is, when will they remove it?

Nice, this will make the desktop look pretty cool although I think it might be libadwaita only.

I think it’s based on the xdg-desktop-portal accent color support, but there were specific hooks added to libadwaita to handle that desktop standard, at least that’s my guess based on this.

Definitely glad we have the major desktops all natively supporting accent colors now, it’s been a long time coming.

I’m happy to see it’s finally happening, and I hope they left its implementation flexible.

What I’d really love to see (aside from triple buffer) is a real solution to the system tray situation. AppIndicator is problematic for some apps and under certain X11/Wayland desktops, and even when it works well it is cumbersome to use compared to traditional tray implementations. Hoping we see a new approach soon.

In the meantime, I’ve been enjoying a revisit to KDE Plasma under Kinoite and I have to say I’m really impressed with both DEs!

Gnome have been trying to agree on a standardised, cross-desktop system tray replacement for a long time now. Unfortunately it hasn’t really got anywhere, so it’ll be a while.

Yes! They can’t just abandon the system tray…

And I don’t even care if they keep it as a “tray”. I’d be content with integration into the dash if they can make it work smoothly. For example, just having the app start minimized as a regular icon (or segregated icon) in the dash…just something at this point.

What happened in Gnome for them to merge so much stuff recently?

Simple, they’ve been working with goals of each release, so most of the things that clearly aren’t going to make it to the next release don’t get top priority compared to the things that will. It also just so happened that a ton of these year-spanding works have finally being considered done today lol

Linux

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
