listed.\u00a0The network settings have been split up for a better overview: There are now individual menus for the WLAN and Bluetooth settings.\u00a0In addition, the menu for configuring several screens has been revised.\u00a0Users can more quickly determine which screen should be set as primary, set the resolution of individual screens, and enable the desktop to be mirrored on two different screens.\u00a0Particularly with speakers at conferences, which connect their laptop to a beamer, the clearer configuration should be welcome and ensure a faster start of their lectures.<\/p>\n<div

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"gpar3\">The network release of the desktop or screencast will in the future control Gnome via the graphics library mother itself and can be used independently of X11 and Wayland.\u00a0In addition to the Gnome remote desktop application, the multi-media library Pipewire is also used.\u00a0Since these improvements were implemented at the last minute, there should be some improvements in the next versions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"gpar4\">On the desktop itself, the top menu bar is transparent until a window is pushed into its immediate vicinity.\u00a0The search has been expanded and also shows system functions such as the switch.\u00a0The output of the results has been reduced.\u00a0Thus, more hits fit the screen.\u00a0However, the preview images of open applications in the activities have been increased to make them easier to select.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_features_in_the_applications\"><\/span>More features in the applications<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"gpar5\">The tweak tool was renamed to optimizations.\u00a0The window buttons can be placed on either the right or the left, or the display of the battery status can be activated in the toolbar.\u00a0The log overview groups messages so that they are easier to find.\u00a0The browser of the Gnome project, simply called the Internet, can access Mozilla Firefox&#8217;s Sync service to match bookmarks or passwords between browsers on different devices.\u00a0Recurring events can be defined in the calendar.\u00a0Evolution can be used without an e-mail account, for example to manage a task list in the new To-do module.<\/p>\n<p id=\"gfpop1\">Without any excitement, the Gnome hackers are hardly new: the status icons at the bottom are no longer displayed by default, which led to some discussion amongst users.\u00a0The reason:\u00a0<a class=\"golem-external-url\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.gnome.org\/aday\/2017\/08\/31\/status-icons-and-gnome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">This leaves more space on the desktop for more important things<\/a>\u00a0.\u00a0The Gnome developers pointed out the addon topicons, with which status icons can be made visible again.\u00a0In the next version, the icons will disappear altogether.\u00a0Speaking of icons: In Gnome there is now a collection of emoticons.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ubuntu_variant_gets_the_look_of_Unity\"><\/span>The Ubuntu variant gets the look of Unity<span

Ubuntu developers want to make some adjustments, which are based on the previous desktop Unity.\u00a0The toolbar of the activities should always be displayed on the left edge of the screen.\u00a0Also
