![]() Pop!_OS recently received an update to the App Library where instead of opening in full-screen, the app opens in a floating window.ĬOSMIC will also have an app library, but it will be built using GTK. I found a small bug where if you selected an application and then return to search something else the launcher would panic, I filled an issue. The launcher selection has a yellow border around it, as opposed to the gray one already present in the current launcher.The launcher is a bit smaller and more compact.There aren’t any major changes, but there are some minor ones: The new launcher is fairly similar to the one that is currently available in Pop!_OS. There is already a working version of Pop Launcher, it’s built using GTK. The search also displays a list of all the settings that match the search criteria and not only where they’re located as GNOME Settings does, this makes it easier to change your settings without having to leave the section you currently are in. One of the biggest changes is the search feature, in GNOME Settings, the search bar is available at the top of the navigation view, this is problematic when inside nested menus as the user has to go back to the beginning to access it, but in COSMIC it’s available everywhere in the app, no matter how deep inside a menu the user is. The search bar is available everywhere in the app. ![]() The toggle buttons are now using the same color as the navigation view.The navigation view can be collapsed using the Navigation button in the top left corner.The app is using rounded corners in the window and in elements inside the app, exactly at 12px.There’s no visible distinction between the window title bar and the body of the window.Here are some of the UI changes I noticed: Settings #Īs of right now, Pop!_OS uses GNOME Settings app but System76 is hard at work developing a new version of the settings app for the COSMIC desktop using GTK 4, here’s a comparison between the two. The COSMIC desktop is still a work in progress and is not yet ready for use, most of what you’ll see here is a preview and subject to change. This post will explore how this new desktop environment is shaping up. System76’s objective is to create something that is faster, more customizable, and free of the limitations of the GNOME desktop environment, and let’s face it, we’re all curious how this desktop will look. Their idea is to create a desktop environment that is similar to the one that is currently available for the Pop!_OS operating system, but with a different focus. A few months ago, System76 announced that they would be developing a new desktop environment based on the Rust programming language called COSMIC.
