Updates
Apphive
The most notable changes for this minor release are within our application malmanagement tool (a fork of the elementary project’s brilliant AppCenter)
The home page has been adapted have a cleaner look with the category selector moving to a list view on the left-hand side, a few colour changes to the view and the addition of the Games category
Starring of your favourite applications is now possible through the application view, this will allow us to determine which applications are deemed most helpful by our users and will in time be the driving factor of which applications are displayed on the home page, so start starring!
Greeter
The greeting application will now auto focus into the password input text box on load, the default avatar has been updated to be more generic and the guest user and additional users’ selection have been disabled by default to make the screen look less busy and the clock will position itself better on smaller screen sizes
Plank
The simple dock application has had some minor alterations and has merged with the main branch to bring over some of the changes that have been applied such as improved performance and HiDPI support
A new dock item for Multitasking View has also been added, to allow users to add this element back in if required
Wallpapers
Our default wallpapers have been updated with some great additions, we would like to thank all the photographers for their amazing work and for releasing the images under Creative Commons Licences, you guys rock!
