 Can't navigate open windows with keyboard when doing Super+A RDNN GSettings Add an API to remember window position UX: It's too easy to trigger the action "Close All Windows in Workspace" when switching between workspaces with mouse The notifications appear on the right side, they should be in Arabic on the left Workspace bump animation on non-primary display Add gesture to switch between windows on a touchpad Visual artifacts when swiping workspaces with touchpad Add a Gesture option to scroll and switch between open windows, similar to Alt Tab API for launching or switching a particular app ID Draw rounded corners on workspaces in multitasking view Option to Disable/Enable Hot Corners Window switcher mouse interaction issue opening multitasking view can crash gala Blur wallpaper behind multitasking view Last gap in the rightmost workspace has it size doubled when revealed using gestures Primary monitor grey background Grey lines on primary monitor top and bottom API for display labels add support for libmutter-14 Missing gala-daemon systemd service WindowSwitcher doesn't use accent color anymore Changing wallpaper makes the background go grey Crash Launch Dock on X11 Bounce window when focusing an already focused window Meta.Window.begin_grab_op is broken Taking screenshots is completely broken

  • Improve dynamic workspaces behaviour with multiple monitors
  • Updated translations
 After login there is always 2 unpopulated workspaces open. Wrong workspaces behavior Use gestures for "move to workspace" Alt + Shift unnecessarily blocked when there is only one keyboard layout Multitasking view breaks when switching displays & strange Wingpanel position Disconnecting external monitor breaks the multi-tasking view Workspace wallpaper's aspect ratio with different monitors Counter Strike 2 causes segfault in libmutter on exit Scheduled switch to dark style does not dim the wallpaper after cold reboot on elementary OS 7.1 Notifications appear in the middle of the screen

Improvements:

  • Improve handling of move-to-workspace shortcut

 Windows that start maximized or fullscreened should respect “Move windows to a new workspace” Wallpaper in workspace clone and wallpaper clone should have the same style Use dark wallpaper in dark mode when available invisible windows in multitasking view after workspace switch, if done quickly
