![]() You can also click on the speaker icon at the start of the volume slider to instantly mute (or unmute) sound, much like you could in earlier versions. Subtitles have been added to pods to provide more information at-a-glance, e.g., which Wi-Fi network your on which power mode is active or how many Bluetooth devices you’re connected to. This is because pod button are actually two: the left side is a toggle, and (where applicable) the right portion opens a sub-menu with extra actions.Īs well as making that concept a bit more obvious devs reworked the code to make sure both parts of a Quick Settings toggle are keyboard navigable. Pods in the Quick Settings menu have a defined “split” between the left and right sections. You don’t see the ‘background apps’ section in Quick Settings when (compatible) apps aren’t running, so you needn’t worry about it getting in the way when empty.ĭo keep in mind that while you may see entries for apps like Discord, Skype, Telegram etc in the Background Apps area these icons are not “traditional tray icons” that can click on to access a menu, actions, etc. ![]() You can click the ‘x’ beside an app in this list to quit it. When expected, you can see the name of apps running in the background (without a visible window). But as GNOME doesn’t support traditional system tray icons (though modern GNOME apps rarely use them) some UI to monitor and manage backgrounds apps was needed.Īn expandable header lists how many background apps are running. One of the biggest changes in GNOME 44 is the introduction of a new ‘Background Apps’ section in the Quick Settings menu.Ī lot of modern GNOME apps are able to work in the background when their main window is closed. Small stuff overall, but the end result is a tighter presentation. ![]() There are tweaks to the ‘highlight’ of the login field, user pod placement, and tweaks to the brightness of the Lock Screen background blur. Styling changes give more prominence to user account avatars (they’re MUCH bigger), and the font size of the clock has been increased. It feels logical to start this list at the login (and lock) screen. ![]()
