I’m really loving what’s coming in GNOME 47! It’s shaping up to be such a good polish release, and it keeps getting better. Huge props to all the folks who’ve been plugging away at the design and entire stack this cycle.

I'm looking forward to meeting up with folks next week in Denver for them to share more about their work this cycle and to hack on any last touches—plus planning what’s next. Join us in-person or remotely! guadec.org

My favorite new thing by far is accent colors. It’s so nice and refreshing to be able to really change the feel of your computer with just a few well-defined options—all while not introducing a massive burden to third-party app developers.

I’m most excited to see more apps incorporate the accent color in interesting ways, as it’s a great way to pull the user’s preferences into the app.

yep, we implemented that in elementary OS. I'd love for someone to port it over to GNOME!

The one sort of caveat to the elementary implementation is that it does it so well with the default wallpapers because it’s using explicit metadata stored in the image file itself, which helps paper over the color selection sometimes not doing exactly what a designer would do. Whether we also went that way for GNOME or just used a color matching algorithm, it would still be nice. 😊
