Cinnamon 6.4, released in late November 2024, introduces several enhancements aimed at improving both aesthetics and functionality:
- Revamped Default Theme: The new theme features darker colors, increased border radii, and integration with system accent colors, offering a more modern and cohesive appearance.
- Redesigned Modal Dialogs: Utilizing the Clutter toolkit, modal dialogs such as logout prompts and network connections now have a consistent and polished look, enhancing user experience.
- Floating Applet Menus: Applet menus now float slightly above the panel, showcasing rounded corners and tighter layouts, notably in the Calendar and Network applets.
- Native Night Light Feature: A built-in Night Light reduces eye strain by adjusting screen color temperature. Users can customize schedules and temperature settings via Settings > Night Light.
- Power Profiles in Power Applet: The Power applet now supports power profiles, allowing users to switch between ‘Balanced’, ‘Power Saver’, and ‘Performance’ modes easily.
- Volume Overamplification: An option in Settings > Sound enables users to increase system volume beyond 100%, useful for low-audio content.
- Enhanced Menu Navigation: The main menu now supports navigation using numpad arrows, improving accessibility for users who prefer keyboard navigation.
- Grouped Window List Improvements: An option allows listing only windows from the current monitor in the grouped window list, beneficial for multi-monitor setups.
- Notification Behavior: Users can opt to suppress notifications during fullscreen applications, reducing distractions during presentations or media consumption.
- Refined Workspace Switcher OSD: The workspace switcher on-screen display has been redesigned for a more intuitive workspace management experience.
These updates collectively enhance the user experience, offering a more modern, functional, and user-friendly desktop environment.
