Right now, recording GNOME screen in Wayland is not too easy. kooha fails, OBS can work, or so they say, SimpleScreenRecorder does not support Wayland ... One of the best options is the native tool of GNOME, but it does not record with the best of qualities, nor does it have sound. In the future, this will change, and that is something they have mentioned in the post of this week in GNOME, with a demo video included (here).
What was published a few moments ago is longer than what they usually publish in other weeks. Once again, they have re-named improvements to Telegrand, the Telegram client the project is working on. Among the improvements, the unread message balloons are gray for silenced chats, and they are also preparing the ground for GNOME 42. Here is the list with news This week.
This week in GNOME
- Implemented toasts in libadwaita - a more user-friendly and elegant replacement for the old in-app notification pattern that never had a specialized widget.
- Files continues to prepare for its jump to GTK 4. The file renaming tool has also been improved.
- The snapshot tool you are working on has improved its user interface, with cleaner edges, for example. The screenshot cursor will no longer change sometimes when opening the UI, and it will no longer appear blurry. Finally, when there are no windows open to take screenshots, the window selection button will be inactive.
- The settings also continue to improve to finally move to GTK 4.
- GNOME Builder now contains GTK 4 templates for Rust, among other enhancements.
- Tracker, the file system indexer, has received a fix for a query cancellation issue that will improve performance when searching Nautilus.
- Health 0.93.3 has come with various fixes.
- Improvements in «portal».
- Telegrand, the Telegram client, now displays a gray notification balloon on muted chat notifications, bug fixes have been added, and dark theme support for the entire GNOME 42 operating system.
And that has been it for this week.
