Blueman was upgraded to version 2.3.4.<\/p>\n
Among other fixes this solved a race condition in Cinnamon which led to two Bluetooth icons showing up in the panel.<\/p>\n
Less password prompts<\/strong><\/p>\n The code which lets you remove applications from the main menu\u00a0 was reviewed and password prompts were removed in situations where administrative permissions weren’t required.<\/p>\n Removing a Flatpak will no longer require a password to be entered. Same goes for simple shortcuts and local applications (i.e. applications which aren’t installed system-wide).<\/p>\n Synaptic and the Update Manager will now also ask pkexec to remember your password so you won’t have to enter it every single time if you perform multiple operations.<\/p>\n Update Manager: Flatpak support Flatpak support was added to the Update Manager.<\/p>\n This allows Flatpak applications and runtimes to be updated like any other supported types of software.<\/p>\n Cinnamon: Corner bar<\/strong><\/p>\n In the left section of the panel the show-desktop was replaced by a separator.<\/p>\n A new corner bar applet was added to the right edge. This is a feature which was implemented in Windows. Although the corner bar is less noticeable\/discoverable than the show-desktop applet it’s easier to use once you know it’s there. It occupies the corner of the screen so you can get there fast without aiming and with a quick movement of the mouse.<\/p>\n The corner bar supports an action on left click and an action on middle-click. These can be configured to show the desktop, show the desklets, show the workspace selector or the window selector.<\/p>\n The corner bar also supports peek-to-desktop on hover and it shows the desktop if you drag files over it, so it’s easy to drop files on the desktop no matter how many windows are open.<\/p>\n Visual changes<\/strong><\/p>\n In Nemo’s icon view, selected files used to highlight not only their name but also their icon. This was inconsistent with Nemo’s list view and it didn’t look very nice.<\/p>\n Going forward Nemo will only highlight the file names. The icons won’t be darkened any more. This gives the file manager a much cleaner look.<\/p>\n Icons which represent the desktop were flipped vertically.<\/p>\n The bar they feature to represent the panel is now at the bottom, just like the default panel position in Linux Mint.<\/p>\n A shortcut to access the Display settings was added to the desktop’s context menu.<\/p>\n Sponsorships:<\/strong><\/p>\n Linux Mint is proudly sponsored by:<\/p>\n
