Cinnamon 4.0: Cinnamon is the Linux Mint interface. It started out as a fork of Gnome 3, and is now fully independent.
Cinnamon DE (desktop environment) brings modern technologies to Linux while maintaining the classical desktop line we know from Windows, with the taskbar, application menu, and traditional window management.
Now Cinnamon 4.0 has been released. Let's see what new brings:
The desktop environment Cinnamon 4.0 comes with a specialized interface, and a new layout of the panel layout.
The new panel is a modern gadget with a new window list, window grouping, and window previews. The modern version of the panel includes the following features:
- Icons on 40px
- 24px icons on system tray
- Windows that are grouped by application
The users of Cinnamon 4.0 will be able to specify a different size for the icons.
It is worth noting that the Linux Mint 19.1 will allow the user to choose between the traditional panel and the modern Cinnamon 4.0 gadget.
If you use Cinnamon with another Linux distribution, you can replace the gadget manually from the control panel options.
Vsync removed: Το χαρακτηριστικό εμποδίζει το screen tearing, αλλά με κόστος στην απόδοση. Αυτό το κόστος είναι ορατό στις προηγούμενες εκδόσεις του Cinnamon όταν σύρετε ένα παράθυρο με το mouse. Καθώς μετακινείτε το δείκτη του ποντικιού αριστερά και δεξιά, θα παρατηρήσετε ότι το παράθυρο δεν κινείται ακριβώς με το ποντίκι, αλλά με μια μικρή καθυστέρηση.
Removing Vsync fixes things after there is no longer a delay. Windows react directly and fully respond.
More improvements:
Nemo 4 comes with significant performance improvements. Navigating the folders is now faster and this is immediately felt.
The application comes with improved icon sizes and intervals to get better.
Nemo is now able to display file creation times (this requires ext4, and kernel 4.15 or larger version. The feature does not work in encrypted folders).
Nemo's options were moved to a new widget in libxapp called XappStackSideBar.
Those who use them Linux distributions Mint και Ubuntu μπορούν να εγκαταστήσουν την ενημερωμένη έκδοση άμεσα από το παρακάτω ppa.
The source codes is available at GitHub.
