The long awaited port of GNOME System Monitor to GTK 4 has finally arrived! The porting effort focused on keeping the UI as close to the original but still minor enhancements can be seen. The port comes early in the new development cycle which gives us the opportunity to find possible bugs and make use of the new stylish widgetry in GTK 4 and libadwaita.
Webfont Kit Generator 1.1.0 has been released and is available on Flathub.
It features some design improvements. It has been updated to the GNOME 45 style and the font options are now a utility panel instead of a separate view.
The application is in maintenance mode, but this release brings some small additions. Its Google Fonts importer now allows the use of v1 CSSAPI urls, meaning that if you have an old url, you can import it without going back to Google Fonts. Base64 support has also been added, so you can now embed the fonts in the generated CSS file.
As always, this update also includes minor bug fixes.
Warp 0.6 has been released. It features a redesigned code view and an update to the latest GNOME 45 style and widgets. Now your file transfers will look even better!
Share Preview 0.4.0 is out and available on Flathub, it adds two new services to the preview, Discourse, the self-hosted forum/discussion platform, and LinkedIn.
It also adds the ability to open multiple instances of the application, along with some minor cosmetic improvements.
I’ve released Eyedropper version 1.0.0. This is the biggest release for Eyedropper yet, here are some of the major features, including those from the last beta release
Visual feedback when entering a color format
Support for entering all formats
Ability to search for colors in the activity overview
Ear Tag 0.5.0 has been released! This release introduces three main improvements:
The cover art button has been expanded to allow for changing both the front and back covers. It also now has an option to remove cover art from the file.
The “Identify Selected Files” dialog has been re-worked, and now pulls data from MusicBrainz based on present tags, not just AcoustID fingerprints. It also attempts to find the correct release for a track instead of selecting the first best one.
The UI now uses the new libadwaita 1.4 widgets, and thus adapts to the new application style.
Some weeks ago I resumed the ongoing port to GTK4 of Apostrophe. While doing so I took a little detour and implemented a full fledged toolbar. It allows to format text and input common markdown elements. It is context aware, so for example clicking the “checklist button” will toggle a checklist item if the cursor is in one! Next week I’ll be improving the security of the app and sanding any rough edges there are still left
My little application Diccionario de la Lengua, which is used to look up words in the Spanish dictionary, has received a small cosmetic update to follow the new GNOME 45 look and feel. It also now has a permanent history sidebar if the window is wide enough.
For the people interested in high quality 2D rendering, I am proud to announce the first stable release of the Cairo 2D rendering library after 5 years of development. With the work of 77 committers, the 1.18 stable release introduces new API and features such as:
support for COLR fonts
support for the DWrite backend on Windows
performance improvements on macOS
dithering options for image surfaces
a whole new build system, using Meson, for increased portability and speed
on top of many, many build, documentation, and bug fixes. You can get the new release on the Cairo website.
This week Bavarder 1.0 was released! It’s featuring a completely new UI with a multi-chat mode which works on desktop and mobile thanks to the new Libadwaita widgets. It’s now possible to use local models, export conversations, change bot and user name, markdown support and more! Thanks to everyone who helped for making it possible!

Say hello to Ticket Booth! Never again lose track of your favorite movies and TV shows.
It leverages the power of TMDB’s API to serve you the latest information in a beautiful interface. It also features a fully offline mode if you prefer to handcraft your library without relying on a third-party service.
Check it out on Flathub.
If you want to use the Nautilus extension with the flatpak, you have to manually get it from the repo and install it in a Nautilus extension folder, see the readme.
I am happy to announce the release of Flatseal 2.1.0. This new release comes with refined visuals, improved performance, support for a new permission, quality of life additions, and fixes.
Default Workspace has been updated to work with GNOME 45.
This gnome-shell extension allows you to choose a specific workspace to automatically switch to as soon as you login. This is particularly useful if you have a workflow where you use fixed workspaces and don’t use the first workspace as the main one.
