GNOME Devs Mockup a Modern Image Viewer with Editing Tools

Back in 2019 I opined that Ubuntu needs a better image viewer than the one it currently offers (which is Eye of GNOME, if you didn’t know, a core GNOME app). Alas, that hasn’t happened yet. Ubuntu still uses an image viewer that doesn’t offer all of the features that rival operating systems do (yes, even the ChromeOS image viewer can do more out-of-the-box). But hope is on the horizon. GNOME design guru Allan Day has revised his mockups for an improved GNOME image handling experience. Before we look at why his proposals have a dork like me excited, I :sys_more_orange:

These Mockups of System76’s Cosmic Desktop Leave Me Very Excited

If last weeks sneak peek at real-world progress on System76’s new Rust-based Cosmic desktop experience left you a tiny bit excitable, just wait until you see what they’ve got planned. Pop!_OS code explorer Eduardo Flores has shared a System76 Figma design document that gives us a much better look at what’s in store for this upstart DE. And though hate to be a tease: it looks amazing. I’ve always been a fan of desktop applets, indicators, menu bar items, whatever you want to call then. Vanilla GNOME is pretty averse to them and its Status Menu ‘groups’ several functions into :sys_more_orange:

GNOME is Exploring a New ‘Quick Settings’ Feature

I’d wager that most people find GNOME Shell easy to use out-of-the-box — after all, simplicity its part of GNOME’s calling card. But is there room for improvement? Always, and GNOME’s design team think so too. They’re exploring how to make accessing commonly used settings (like screen brightness, wireless network, and dark mode) in GNOME Shell even easier than it is now. They’ve produced a bunch of mockups and even an animation for the feature they call “quick settings”. Before we look at all of that juicy stuff I need to unfurl a testy disclaimer: The mockups you see in :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.
