Now that it’s here, let us check out some of the key highlights. + +### GNOME 42 New Features + +Considering we have already covered a [detailed article on GNOME 42 features][1], let me mention the most important ones here. + +![][2] + +#### 1\. Dark Mode Theme and Appearance Tweaks + +![][3] + +While some other desktop environments already feature a system-wide dark style preference, GNOME did not have one. + +With GNOME 42, the GNOME team has taken inspiration from the elementary OS team (Thanks to the impressive dark mode implementation in [elementary OS 6][4]). + +You can notice a new “Appearance” option replacing the Background to let you switch between Light/Dark mode seamlessly. + +![][5] + +The wallpapers also have their light/dark counterparts to offer the best contrast with the theme of your choice. + +### 2\. Refreshed Folder Icon Theme + +The folder icon theme in GNOME was definitely looked ancient. To top it off, it received some visual refreshments making it look better with dark/white themes: + +![][6] + +### 3\. New Screenshot UI + +The new screenshot UI with GNOME 42 is one of the best additions in this release. + +Not just limited to taking screenshots, it also lets you record your screen with a simple toggle. The user interface looks great and works well in my initial usage with Fedora 36 (pre-release). + +![][7] + +### 4\. GNOME App Upgrades to GTK 4 + +To match the overall user experience of GNOME 42, the default applications received a visual overhaul, thanks to [libadwaita][8]. + +Not just limited to the UI, some GNOME applications also received new features. + +Even some third-party GNOME apps like [Fragments 2.0][9] made significant changes to look best on GNOME 42. + +### 5\. New Text Editor & Console + +![][10] + +Replacing the popular Gedit text editor, you will now find the [modern GNOME Text Editor][11] as the default. + +You will no longer find the GNOME terminal app. Instead, there’s a new terminal app “Console” with some UI enhancements. + +![][12] + +### Other Improvements + +In addition to the visual changes, you should expect performance optimizations and subtle refinements across the platform. Some upgrades include: + + * **Improvements to File indexing** + * **Remote desktop feature now supports RDP** + * **GNOME Web browser now enables hardware acceleration** + + + +To know all about the changes, you can refer to the [official announcement][13]. + +### Download GNOME 42 + +You can use [GNOME OS][14] using Boxes to test the latest stable build of GNOME 42 or get [OpenSUSE Tumbleweed][15] (should be arriving soon). As of now, that’s the only way to test the latest features/changes. + +While [Clear Linux by Intel seems to have added GNOME 42][16] to its latest release, it is not a perfect desktop replacement to distributions like Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Fedora 36. + +You can also try Arch with GNOME 42 or wait for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Fedora 36 release next month. + +[GNOME 42][17] + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +via: https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-42-release/ + +作者：[Ankush Das][a] +选题：[lujun9972][b] +译者：[译者ID](https://github.com/译者ID) +校对：[校对者ID](https://github.com/校对者ID) + +本文由 [LCTT](https://github.com/LCTT/TranslateProject) 原创编译，[Linux中国](https://linux.cn/) 荣誉推出 + +[a]: https://news.itsfoss.com/author/ankush/ +[b]: https://github.com/lujun9972 +[1]: https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-42-features/ +[2]: https://i0.wp.com/i.ytimg.com/vi/du-2QpWbiLU/hqdefault.jpg?w=780&ssl=1 +[3]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjQzOSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[4]: https://news.itsfoss.com/elementary-os-6-features/ +[5]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwMSIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[6]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjUwNiIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[7]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjcyOCIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[8]: https://news.itsfoss.com/gnome-libadwaita-library/ +[9]: https://news.itsfoss.com/fragments-2-0-release/ +[10]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjU3NiIgd2lkdGg9Ijc4MCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[11]: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor +[12]: data:image/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyBoZWlnaHQ9IjUzMyIgd2lkdGg9IjY5NCIgeG1sbnM9Imh0dHA6Ly93d3cudzMub3JnLzIwMDAvc3ZnIiB2ZXJzaW9uPSIxLjEiLz4= +[13]: https://release.gnome.org/42/ +[14]: https://itsfoss.com/gnome-os/ +[15]: https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed +[16]: https://news.itsfoss.com/clear-linux-gnome-42/ +[17]: https://os.gnome.org/
