This Extension Makes Accessing GNOME Shell’s Advanced Settings Easier

Are there parts of the GNOME Shell UI you wish you could configure and customise? If so, check out the Shell Configurator GNOME extension, recently updated to support GNOME 42. This free, open source add-on makes it incredibly easy to access GNOME Shell’s advanced backend settings without needing to use the command line or a tool like dconf-editor. You get a clean, organised design with fully searchable settings that are clearly labelled so that you know turning which toggle does what. Among the things you can do using the Shell Configurator GNOME extension: Adjust animation speed Show/hide top bar items :sys_more_orange:

GNOME Shell on Mobile is Shaping Up Nicely

Ever dreamed of using GNOME Shell on your mobile phone? The reality is closer than you think! Of course, if you’re familiar with Linux phone development you’ve probably heard of (and maybe even tried) Phosh by this. This is a mobile UI spearheaded by Purism and Tobias Bernard that makes use of many core GTK technologies (it helped birth libadwaita) and comes with a UI inspired by GNOME Shell. But work on the real deal is now picking up pace. A new grant from the German Ministry of Education is, GNOME developer Jonas Dressler details in a new blog post, :sys_more_orange:

In Ubuntu 22.04 Light Means Light — Everywhere

Ubuntu 22.04 reverts back to a light GNOME Shell theme by default, having switched to a dark one in Ubuntu 21.04. We explain why this revert makes sense.

De-framed: GNOME Shell Removes its Curvy Panel Corners

GNOME Shell’s unique panel corners are being retired after more than a decade of decorating peoples desktops. If you don’t use a vanilla GNOME session you might not know what these are. Many downstreams, including Ubuntu, patch out this subtle frame in their respective Shell .css. See if you can spot panel corners in this screenshot of stock GNOME Shell running on Fedora: No? I’ll make it easier: Hey: I did say they were subtle! This curvaceous cornicing helps to frame the desktop workspace, and it neatly “hugs” the corners of maximised windows (in themes that use rounded corners) for :sys_more_orange:

Check Out GNOME Shell’s New Look in GNOME 42

GNOME Shell looks a little different in GNOME 42, which is currently in active development. I wasn’t able to showcase the shell theme tweaks in my GNOME 42 alpha post but, over the weekend, fuelled by coffee 😉, I managed to get the correct branch up and running on my Fedora install. I figured I’d write a short post to share some screenshots of the changes I’ve spotted thus far. Just keep in mind GNOME 42 is under active development. Everything shown here is a work in progress and very much subject to change. GNOME 42 embraces libadwaita and its :sys_more_orange:

New GNOME Designs Explore a ‘Bottom Bar’ Layout for GNOME Shell

For 10 years GNOME shell has been based around a single panel stripped across the top of the screen — but this fundamental feature could be about to change.

GNOME 40 Fixes the Shortened App Name Iss…

How to Enable ‘Fuzzy Search’ in GNOME Shell’s Applications Screen

I make typos — okay: a lot of typos* — but modern technology cleans up after me. Features like autocorrect, “did you mean?”, and (relevant here) fuzzy search step in when my typing precision fails. :sys_more_orange:

Grouped Notifications Are Coming to GNOME Shell

New GNOME development adds the long-requested ability to have desktop notifications grouped by application rather than appearing individually.

Grouped Notifications Are Coming to GNOME Shell

Support for grouped notifications is winging its way to GNOME Shell. The backend plumbing required to support notification grouping is being tackled by GNOME developer Mariana Pícolo. She recently shared a blog post on the :sys_more_orange:
