1.5 Release Notes

Release notes for Regolith 1.5

Regolith R1.5 is a feature release which includes several improvements and optimizations. To summarize, Regolith 1.5 ships simpler workspace management, a Rofi-based Look switcher, and numerous internal optimizations and cleanup. Read below for more details.

Features

FeatureScreenshotDescription
Next Free WorkspaceA typical part of managing workspaces in an i3-based desktop is moving to unused workspaces and then loading some applications. Before this feature, a user has to determine which unused workspace they prefer. This is done by scanning the list of existing used workspaces to determine an unused one. Now, the system can do this automatically. The super ` keybinding will move to the next free workspace. super alt ` will move the focused window into the next free workspace.
View and Change Looks via RofiSelect Rofi lookLooks can be changed now via a Rofi dialog rather than having to configure the Xresources override via the command-line. To do this, use the keybinding super alt l and then select a look from the dialog.
GSettings OverridesRegolith now uses GSettings overrides to configure various GNOME settings for use with Regolith. In previous versions, settings were written globally to the user session from within the Regolith startup code. This could cause issues if the user works in multiple desktop environments. Now, the Regolith GNOME settings are defined in an override file that is only in effect while using a Regolith session. This allows switching between desktop environments without settings from Regolith impacting other environments.
New LooksDracula Look
  Gruvbox Look
  PopOs Look
Users have contributed some new Looks to Regolith: Dracula, Gruvbox, and PopOs. Each of these looks presents a distinctive color palate, typeface, and GTK theme.
i3-gaps upgraded to 4.18.2See the i3-gaps release notes for more information
More Refined CustomizationsNumerous small changes allow more granular system customization, such as specifying the temperature unit, custom Compositor settings, and a more comprehensive way of changing i3 keybindings without having to copy the entire config file.
More Desktop Environment PackagesThe following packages can be installed in place of regolith-desktop for specific sets of packages based on user needs: regolith-desktop-minimal, regolith-desktop-standard, regolith-desktop-mobile, and regolith-desktop-complete
New default compositor: Picom version 8See the Picom release notes for more information on what has changed.
Remontoire upgraded to version 1.4Includes better multi-monitor support and other bug fixes and enhancements.
Optional integration with td-clitd-cliAccess a simple todo app via Rofi.
Documentation of development processThe Regolith development process is now better documented for greater transparency and to foster inclusion.
