![]() Rubber-banding, which was previously only available in icon view, is now also available in list view. The quit dialog no longer skips the taskbar. The coordinates and size of some widgets and components were adjusted to fall on exact pixels (which results in removing a slight blurriness and making them look crisp). Symbolic icons give Cinnamon a more modern look and better support for dark themes. Notifications can now also show at the bottom of the screen. To avoid notification spam, they’re also limited in number per source and disappear when the application is focused, except for particular applications (Firefox, Chromium.etc) which use multiple tabs and which can send notifications for various internal sources. They now have a close button (which unlike the notification itself doesn’t send you towards the source application) and no longer fade-out on mouse-over. ![]() Right-clicking the star icon gives you access to your previously saved searches. When performing a search you can click the star icon to remember it. Cinnamon now lets you define what the maximum sound volume is, between 0 and 150%, and all sound controls (whether it’s the sound settings, the sound applet or the media keys) now range between 0 and the maximum value you defined. The maximum sound volume was currently set to 150%, with the sound settings allowing to go all the way to 150% while the sound applet and media keys only allowed a range of 0 to 100%. Improvements ported from GNOME reduce the occurrence of full stage redraws in Cinnamon. Nemo no longer lags when moving files over USB devices. Thanks to improvements in libnemo-extension and the way views are rendered, Nemo is faster at showing directory contents. The new animations look cleaner and along with the performance improvements they make Cinnamon feel snappier than before. Although they're not responsible for any delay, they also have an impact on comfort and perception. In addition, the team took the opportunity to improve the window animations. This gain in performance is however slightly perceivable and gives an impression of snappiness to the desktop. When launching a single application, the difference isn't as drastic and the original problem isn't as obvious. After changes were made to tackle these issues, the numbers went down and Cinnamon is now just as fast as Metacity to build the 200 windows and recover. Here’s how Cinnamon 3.6 compared to Metacity when launching 200 windows:īottlenecks were identified in some applets and in the window manager. The development team investigated Cinnamon's performance and compared with many others. Faster app-launching:Ĭinnamon 3.8 feels snappier because it is faster and more efficient at launching applications and rendering new windows. Linux Mint 19 ships with the latest Cinnamon 3.8.
