Sometimes it's REALLY tough to keep a secret. But now that the secret's out...

Our new logo will make its way to you when Thunderbird 115 launches this summer!

#Thunderbird #OpenSource #FreeYourInbox

Just like our software, the current (and yes, beloved) Thunderbird logo has seen small, iterative improvements throughout the last 20 years. But now the software is evolving into something more modern, and we believe it deserves a fresh logo that properly represents this revitalization.

Here's the brand new Thunderbird logo, designed by the creator of the original #Firefox and #Thunderbird logos, @jonhicks 🎉

Which Desktop Environments do you use?

Valve says "Google’s tracking solutions don't align well with our approach to customer privacy." So it's ditching the analytics system from Steam. https://www.pcmag.com/news/steam-ditches-google-analytics-over-customer-privacy-concerns

Wireless display support and a new 'system' panel are among the exciting ideas #GNOME may work on during this summer's GSoC https://www.omglinux.com/gnome-gsoc-2023-projects-interesting/

DaVinci Resolve Studio 18.5 is a huge and awesome update for us Linux users!! Voice isolation has been added, codec support, AND looks like BMD is using Rocky Linux as their target platform going forward. Check out the screenshots!

Ads are annoying, but Microsoft is testing more ways to add them to the Windows 11 Start Menu.

There's a new #Thunderbird idea on Mozilla Connect:

"Dismiss New Email Notifications When Email is Clicked [LINUX]"

Discuss it or vote on it here: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/dismiss-new-email-notifications-when-email-is-clicked/idi-p/29122

Continuing work on actions and menus, @zemarmot experimented with the "Client-Side Decoration" concept, i.e. drawing our own title bar with things in it (cf. Firefox's tabs).

For GIMP, it mostly means merging menu with title bar.

Now we know this design is loved by some while hated by others with the same passion (+ it doesn't work well on some platforms drawing their own titlebar anyway ⇒ it gets ugly).
So it will likely be an option (possibly highlighted at update in the welcome dialog). 😜

🎆 🎉 🥳 TIME TO CELEBRATE! 🥳 🎉 🎆

Microsoft plans to raise the prices of its office software in Germany – but #LibreOffice comes to the rescue! It also helps to free companies and organisations from vendor lock-in: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2023/04/06/microsoft-365-price-hike-in-germany-libreoffice-to-the-rescue/

Soon, friends.
