Dor Askayo is joining the team to continue their work on variable refresh rate (vrr) support in Mutter

Hell yeah, hopefully this makes it in time for Gnome 46.

Now that askayo is officially part of gnome, I hope that vrr is shipped with gnome 46 as an experimental feature at the very least

Gnome was already pretty great for accessibility (for a Linux DE anyway), and I’m glad to see that it’s getting continued work.

Usually (understandably) it’s overlooked

Also nice to hear them actually explaining why VRR hasn’t been enabled yet - there are still kinks to work out. Reddit/Lemmy told me it’s just because Gnome devs are evil pieces of shit who hate their users.

Please finish this damn variable refresh rate already!!

Secret300,

there are many interesting one’s for me this issue, mainly :

  • Drag and drop of folders will now work with sandboxed applications (Drop a folder from Nautilus onto Amberol)
  • In the works is accessing USB devices with per-device, per-app permissions.
  • Adding CSS variables support to GTK.
  • Grouping notifications by app in GNOME Shell.
  • CalDAV/CardDAV support in Gnome Online accounts.

Hope we get many of these in coming few months.

How on earth have they not had css variables. Seems like a recipe for inconsistency, but gnome tends to be fairly consistent

flamingos,

GTK currently has a CSS extension that lets you define named colours with @define-color.

Chewy7324,

Cal-/CardDAV support in Gnome is awesome. There was no way for me to use the integrated Gnome Calendar.

poinck,

You can use Evolution to set it up and then use gnome-calender to use it (I set it up this way for my radical server). I think, what they will do is, integrating the cal/carddav-setup in to GOA so that you don’t have to interact with Evolution anymore.

The “backend” is currently managed by evolution-data-server. Maybe they will replace it some day, too.

Chewy7324,

Thanks. Interesting, I didn’t know this was possible.
