Some of these we have relatively complete plans for, others are more vague ideas that need more research and prototyping. As always, getting things like these implemented depends on developer capacity and interest (and sometimes funding).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I like the ideas. None of them represents a major break from the current interface; several bring Gnome in line with the experience that&#8217;s expected and common in other desktop environments and operating systems.<\/p>\n<p>The most advanced one, which should appear in the next version (Gnome&nbsp;51), is the overlay showing search results (<a href=\"https:\/\/manualdousuario.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/search-overlay2-1.png\">image<\/a>), instead of these appearing on their own dedicated\/full screen. The change is justified in light of the philosophy adopted in Gnome&nbsp;40: \u201cWhen you navigate GNOME Shell, interface elements always come from somewhere, and exit to somewhere else, in a way that\u2019s semantic and predictable over time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I like the ideas.
