Notable changes:
- Tracking improvements. For example, if you use the launcher to launch an application and then switch workspaces, it will still launch in the workspace you opened it from;
- Supported the ext-session-lock protocol, which authenticates the user and informs the compositor when the session should be unlocked
- XDG activation and DBus activation support
- work on HDR
- Ongoing work to package COSMIC on NixOS: tracking issue
Fair enough. As long as the app goes with the dark/light theme and doesn’t look super tiny on hidpi screens, I personally wouldn’t really lose sleep over it. Will there be an HIG specific to cosmic for devs who want to make apps for it?
Yes, the libcosmic toolkit automates a decent chunk of the process to building an application with our interface guidelines. If building an application with the
cosmic::Applicationtrait. Which includes the header bar, navigation bar, and context drawer.Thank you for answering all these questions. Last question, do you know when an alpha or a beta will be released? I want to test and help out with reporting. I have a spare laptop that I can use to test.
