This release features a multitude of bug fixes and some of the following highlighted improvements: Fix stretching of GTK Switches in CSS themes; Fixed some untranslatable strings; Icon and GTK themes are now properly detected using our new ThemeScanner; Notifications will no longer expand Raven; Resolved drawing issues for Calendar, Sound, and MPRIS applets; Some users experienced instances where battery / power indicators would not accurately reflect the amount of batteries on their system, typically due to changes between critical state and charging. These issues should now be resolved; We now ensure multiple applications abide by the user’s icon theme, such as Atom, Gnome Builder, Gnome Photos, Gnome TODO, Telegram, and more; While not specifically affecting Solus, Budgie has received multiple GTK 3.20 fixes; You can now click the desktop while Raven is open and have Raven be dismissed…” You can read complete release announcement here.
