For a mere £1M - the amount of engineering that the @gnome project has been doing this year is nothing short of phenomenal. The App Ecosystem is worth investing in.

This year's Linux App Summit and GUADEC will be awesome I think :)
As part of the GNOME @sovtechfund project we've been working on improving notifications in GNOME (and the wider free desktop) 🔔✨
In this blog post @jsparber gives an update on the current state, what's already landed in 46, and what's coming in the near future!

Congratulations to the entire @fedora community on the release of F40!
And this is awesome: The "Slimbook Fedora 2" laptop looks like a great way to get more people up and running with #FreeSoftware and best of all, they donate 3% of the proceeds to @gnome.

Dear GNOME, GTK and friend developers 🧑💻 
Have you ever encountered an issue with #Blueprint? Please file an issue, and we'll look at it for Blueprint 1.0
gitlab.gnome.org/jwestman/blue…
We aim for supporting all GTK builder syntax and 100% XML↔Blueprint porting compatibility.

@sonny It's a tricky one, but I think it should be doable to make it work somehow. For being featured the first screenshot is most important, you can preview that here: docs.flathub.org/banner-previe…
More generally, I'd reduce the number of screenshots to 3 or so (e.g. first, second, last) and avoid manual compositing with multiple windows as much as possible. Happy to discuss this more in detail, but might be better on Matrix, e.g. #flathub or #gnome-design :)

@GTK congrats!
Thank you for the amazing toolkit and all the work that goes into it. ❤️
The progress made in the last year is astonishing
Highlights ✨:
• video/graphics offload
• new graphics renderer
• GtkAccessibleText
• fractional scaling support
• accessibility inspector
I highly recommend reading the GTK blog blog.gtk.org/

Thanks to all you developers out there adding brand colors to your apps over the past months we're almost ready to launch featured banners ✨

To make it more interesting we're setting a deadline! We will be launching the new banners on April 20th, so for the possibility to be featured during the first week, update your apps today :)

Like it or not, most of our brains are wired to use decimal, and they struggle converting numbers to other bases. The Binary app lets you convert your base 10 number to binary, and your hexadecimal back to decimal, whatever conversion you require. It even tells you how many bits are required to store the value you give it, and their associated magnitude!

Just bought a #DELL 3190 laptop, new for $150 (11.6" screen, 64GB eMMC). It's fully supported on #Linux, and even if it has a Celeron N4120 CPU and only 4 GB of RAM, it'll work fine with #Mint, or #XFCE (and #Gnome/ #KDE if you don't mind some minor lag). Not opening too many browser tabs will ensure that the swap file won't get used too often.
If you're on a tight budget this is a good option, as it also has great battery life too at 10 hours with Linux.

Having trouble with a GtkGridList. Looking for help.
I've replaced a GtkFlowBox with a GtkGridList to improve performance. However, the GridList is breaking the layout.
The height of every child of the GridList expands to beyond the edges of the window (screenshot 1), unless it’s the *direct descendent* of a GtkScrolledWindow (screenshot 2). In the second case, the grid renders as expected but I can't put the header in.
Does anyone know a way around this? (Code below)
Sometimes your desktop just gets a little boring and when that happens, let Damask refresh it. The app can automatically cycle through your wallpapers and can even find you some new ones. It give you the option to pull from various sources, like Bing and Wallhaven's collection of backgrounds. With Damask, you can always have a new backdrop to your digital life!

More progress made!
The WIP icon manager app now renders SVG icons as vector drawings, so they don't get pixellated and appear extra crisp on HiDPi displays.
The search bar is also now visible in the header bar for quick access. It now filters the icons in the currently selected list.
For every day that I've sat down to work on this app, I've managed to solve a problem that seemed insurmountable the day before.
The app now copies icons to your clipboard, ready to paste into design software! It can paste icons both as SVG data (which Inkscape supports) and as a temporary file (which Figma and file managers support).
It also loads icon sets that are bundled with the app and has an overview of all the sets installed.

here it is at 120hz running #postmarketOS #GNOME mobile!
the high refresh and 2 years newer hardware definitely makes for a smoother experience overall.

What I really like about #GNOME46 is that it turned out to be a great release for old and low-end devices. One of my test devices is Thinkpad T400. That hardware is over 15 years old and actually got faster over the last few years - especially this release.
One of my favorite improvements here, headed by Christian Hergert, was the boost to VTE. Terminals using #gtk4 are now much faster and responsive. I mean, damn, even switching tabs doesn't trigger a full redraw!
