Through a message on your own blog and from the captures carried out by Alan Days within his own web space, the developer Georges Stavracas shows us the latest work related to the keyboard control panel, within the same environment. In fact, the work has been carried out over several months, starting from a reengineering of the GNOME kernel itself to ending in each of the system components, to which it will gradually expand when the version 3.22 later this year.
Being a work still in development, it is susceptible to change over time, although not in a radical way. Let's review the main changes introduced.
Although it is perhaps one of the components of the system in which we repair the least, the GNOME keyboard control panel is undergoing a reengineering process as a result of the evolution of the core of that environment. It will be the first of many changes that we will see over the next few months but for now, the work done is very good, with a clear, intuitive finish and clear mobile trends in a period in which desktop and mobile interfaces they begin to melt.
If you have already seen the video that we showed you in the header, you will have noticed that first big change of the tabs. Dialog boxes, buttons and panels have also been redesigned so that their general behavior is much more consistent with the rest of the system.
Internally, Stavracas gives us an idea of the changes that have occurred in the source code of the environment:
- New programming tools have been developed with which GTK + and GLib have made a notable difference in terms of the readability of the code and the final quality of the work.
- The work carried out with GObjects has surprised the programmer himself, not only because of the new functionalities it provides, but also because of its ability to document the code itself.
What do you think of the changes introduced within the keyboard menu? Do you like the restructuring that is taking place in GNOME?
