Railway version 2.9.0 was released. This release allows you to get notifications about the current status of the trip, including for example when you will need to transition to the next train, when a train is running late, or when a departure platform changes. It also fixes an error with DB not working anymore. We also updated to the GNOME 49 runtime.
A new release of DistroShelf has been published!
As always, you can get it from flathub
Added support for exporting binaries: You can just type the command and DistroShelf will resolve the binary path inside the container, then make it available on your host system.
This is great if you have an immutable OS. You can install all your terminal utilities in a distrobox and export them from here
Save and restore main window size between sessions
Added keyboard shortcuts for common actions
Added qterminal and deepin terminal support
Fixed issues regarding distrobox creation, where some switches weren’t working
Many other small quality of life changes and bugfixes
I have released Nucleus version 2! This update brings translation support for the periodic table info, support for radioactivity, some info fixes for Vanadium, Cadmium and Promethium, as well as the ability to search elements by symbol. The app has also been updated to GNOME 49 and ported to the new shortcuts dialog so you can see the newly added search shortcut.
GNOME Crosswords 0.3.16 was released! Read the details at the release announcement.
This version contains the culmination of the hard work our GSoC and Outreachy students have done over the summer. There are two notable end-user features in this release. First, the game now has printing support. This feature involved a major reworking of the rendering system and hundreds of changes across the code base, resulting in a high-quality printed puzzle.
In addition, the Editor now has a significantly improved word suggestion widget. This updated widget will only recommend words that fit with existing letters in an area.
This extension is inspired by the macOS app https://1440app.com/
It shows an indicator in the panel, counting down the minutes until the day is over, by default, that’s until midnight, but you can change that time to suit your schedule.
Hello Everyone
Published my first gnome extension: minimized-windows-buttons!
Especially Microsoft Windows users get confused in gnome, when they minimzie a window, and it just “disappears”. To help those poor souls a bit, here is an extension to make them feel less lost. It creates a Button on the bottom of the main screen for each minimized window and “maximizes” it again on click.
I’ve create a GNOME Shell extension: Hide dash in Overview
This is a lightweight extension with no configuration needed - just enable or disable it.
As the name suggests, it does only one thing: it hides the Dash (also often called the Deck in the Overview.
This extension supports versions starting v45
I originally made this for myself, but I hope it will be useful to others as well
Hi everyone!
I’m super excited to have my first GNOME Extension published. I called it In Picture, because it moves and resizes Picture-in-Picture windows according to preferences, optionally keeping them always on top. I initially made it for myself, because PiP windows kept spawning in the middle of the screen and not “always above” (average Wayland experience 😁). And since it works, I figured why not share it with others?
You can check it out here.
I just released Ordo, a GNOME 48 Shell extension that moves the window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close) from each window’s titlebar to a single location on the top panel. It keeps the buttons minimal, always at the top-right, and works well with tiling extensions like Forge.
Another GNOME Foundation update is available this week, with news items from the last week. These include an increase in donations, a new accountant, and GNOME.Asia 2025 preparations.
That’s all for this week!
See you next week, and be sure to stop by #thisweek:gnome.org with updates on your own projects!
