Working on updates post right now :)

Shoutouts to @alexm GNOME Web 44 will now use elementary styles on elementary OS. Now it’s my turn to give it lots of love, but the path is paved! Fixing these issues will mean much better support for LibAdwaida widgets in general so it’s a huge win for anyone writing GTK apps who wants to make them look good on elementary OS :) https://github.com/elementary/browser/discussions/82#discussioncomment-5196435

Fixed a couple reported errors with new network menu. Update should go out imminently. Thanks for filing issue reports ❤️🎉

Made some good progress on supporting Adw.PreferencesWindow in the style sheet. Still a lot to go but the basics are there :) https://github.com/elementary/stylesheet/pull/1245

I think taxes are all paid. It looks like our mastodon cross poster is no longer working so I hooked up Buffer and queued up some posts there. Gonna try to get the social media marketing machine turning more. Non-product tasks are not my favorite but they need doing.

Shoutouts to leolost2605 for figuring out the fix for this elusive issue! Goes to show the hardest part of bug fixing is often figuring out what’s going wrong, writing the fix can be just a single line! https://github.com/elementary/mail/pull/825

The new color schemes for Code that @micahilbery made are so good. I need to port them to Terminal. The colors are richer while also being less eye-punchy and yet higher contrast. It feels really good. Especially that dark theme is so much better omg

Just merged in offline PackageKit updates in AppCenter, let’s gooo 🚀 This closes a bunch of issues with updates and lays the foundations for designing towards an immutable future. Shoutouts to @meisenzahl for working on this feature

There’s been a ton of bug fixes and performance improvements in Gala over the holiday thanks to @GranPC and a branch from @meisenzahl makes AppCenter just blazing fast to startup. Last minute performance improvements let’s goooo 🚀

These kinds of little details and putting love into every corner of the experience are what makes working on @elementary OS so rewarding for me. Also, welcome back to Marius!

Spent some time today working on some options for a new Files icon https://github.com/elementary/icons/pull/1147

Really grateful for the feedback on this! I’m going to move forward with scaling the bottom left one (background tab with magnifying glass)

I was looking at seeing if we could ship Font Viewer as Flatpak in 7, but it looks like it hardcodes Adwaita so it would need a distro patch and I don’t want to get into that today 😅

Okay finished scaling that and started on a calculator icon. Not exactly the most inspired thing ever, but fits the format and style: https://github.com/elementary/icons/pull/1148

What do we think about mint here instead of orange?

If you’re looking for a non-coding way to get involved, I just created a project for improving the metadata we show for our apps in AppCenter. Check it out: https://github.com/orgs/elementary/projects/112

I haven't done high fidelity mockups in a while, and I kind of want to start doing some again so on this rainy day I started messing with a mockup for a flatter Files design. Kind of tweaking sidebar styles, spacing, border radius, etc. Nothing too exciting here yet but kind of fun to get back into these kind of mockups

There's still room for improvement, but pretty happy with how much more uniform app icons are looking while still keeping their own personality

Been working with Jeremy quite a bit on improvements for Code, especially related to being able to tile it on small displays. Also finished up the Gtk 4 port of our Portals thanks to Gustavo!

Looking at new wallpapers today. Send me https://unsplash.com or https://pexels.com links please :)

You can see what we’re looking for in a good wallpaper at https://GitHub.com/elementary/wallpapers/contribute

New releases proposed for AppCenter and Code. This release of AppCenter includes offline updates and huge performance improvements, shout-outs to @meisenzahl. Code release has new color schemes, tiles on tiny displays, lots of bug fixes 🎉
