the “Edit Calendar” page in GNOME Calendar was recently ported to libadwaita widgets! We also added mnemonics to improve keyboard accessibility, as well as tooltips.
GNOME Calendar now uses the new AdwNavigationSplitView widget and AdwBreakpoint for adaptivity. This means it now fits properly on mobile portrait mode - something that wasn’t possible with the old libadwaita widgets. We also now use AdwMessageDialog instead of GtkMessageDialog.
GNOME Disks is in need of contributors for the GTK4 port and the UI refresh planned in gnome-disk-utility#274 (these mockups have been around for a while). The GTK4 port and the UI refresh could be done separate but it maybe saves work if it’s done at once (there could be an easy way to use GTK4 without rewriting the partition view, not sure).
Workbench 44.2 is out. There are 30 new demos and examples in this release which brings the total amount of Library entries above 50. Each entry is carefully crafted to feature good coding practices, be easy to reason about and respect GNOMEHIG and patterns.
Tube Converter V2023.6.2 is here! This release features brand new documentation provided by the Help menu item and includes some bug fixes when working with credentials and validating URLs.
Here’s the full changelog:
Added a “Help” item in the main menu to display yelp docs about Tube Converter
Recently completed downloads will be shown first in the completed group instead of being appended last
Tube Converter will now automatically select the xdg-download folder as the save folder if no previous folder is available
Fixed a performance issue with displaying logs when the logs were large in size
Fixed an issue where the app would crash if the authentication credentials were invalid
Fixed an issue where some supported URLs could not be validated
Updated translations (Thanks everyone on Weblate!)
It is my pleasure to announce that the recently released PineTab2 from PINE64 already runs Phosh, so you can use and develop your favourite GNOME applications on it!
GNOME Network Displays can now be compiled as headless daemon! All it does for the time being is printing available sinks to the terminal, but that’s the foundation that will later enable shell and settings integrations.
I’ve developed a new Gnome Shell extension - Peek Top Bar On Fullscreen. It enables macOS-like capability of revealing Gnome top panel while full screen content is on. Just hover mouse cursor to the top of your primary screen to check the time, or to switch some quick settings toggles, without leaving full screen mode.
