I was going to make a screen casting review for Gnome 353 but there are so many new things that is impossible to cover in just one post. So I’ll make screens for each Gnome module separetely.
And of course I’ll start from Empathy which is one of my favorite Gnome Apps ..buggy yet!
[1] Gnome 353.. What is a nice change in Control Panel is that they have used Clutter (I guess) here and they have a nice scrolling animation in options navigation. It is like a curtain effect from right to left.
[2] The new MS exchange support in GOA
[3] I hadn’t (the truth is I have :) ) an exchange account to try it, but this is the login
[4] Empathy’s loading screen
[5] And this is the new -with minor changes- Empathy’s interface. The Application Menu seems huge (with 2 options -Contacts, Rooms- opened), but this is mostly because screen resolution (1024×768). But ok, it is huge, 768 pixel height!
[6] If you right click on contacts info your Gnome Contact is opening
[7] The call conversation that wasn’t working. Also doesn’t work for me in 340
[8] The patches for notifications haven’t merged in 353
[9] The re-designed Empathy’s General Tab with some new options like “Automatically connect on Startup” and “Show account balances” which I haven’t a clue what is used for ;) All other tabs remain the same as 340.
These are pretty much all for Empathy 353. I just hope finally to make Empathy a usable IM, because all these years it has nothing but bugs. I can’t even connect my MSN Live in 340..
