1. Visual Changes in Desktop elements

- New Search icon: A new search icon is added to the Applications menu to clearly
show its functionality which people use it for. Also, you will see the “⌘ + Space” tool-
tip, showing the handy shortcut when you hover the mouse pointer over it.
- Animated Top Panel Icons: Some of the system indicator icons are now animated.
Notice the notifications icon in below screenshot.
- Battery Indicator: The power indicator will now display the correct total percentage
even when your computer has multiple internal batteries. Center button mouse clicking
the icon toggles showing the battery percentage.

2. Terminal

- Why leave out an important tool ‘Terminal’ not polished? Juno’s Terminal has options
for light and dark background colors. Also, notice the font size changing “-” and “+”
buttons.

3. Photo

- Apart from performance improvement due to lots of code cleanup, Photos app now
come with a dark style in both the viewer and library modes, so that you can focus on
your photos more.
- Also included is the full HiDPI support for both thumbnails and single photo views.
HiDPI is something elementary OS has been focusing a lot since the beginning. This
will make your pictures look crisp regardless of display density.

4. Night light Mode

- A new Night Light tab is added in the “Display” settings. You can set its schedule based
on Sunset to Sunrise or set time, manually. Optionally, you can adjust the color
temperature from Cool to warmth.
- Anytime you can access the night light and snooze it to see real colors of a graphic or
a picture you are editing from the top panel icon.

5. Music

- Music App has been cleaned with tons of code and so it should perform better. The
biggest long-time issue of loading embedded album cover art will be fixed in Juno.
The team is also replacing old custom widgets with their Granite counterparts like
 using the same Granite StorageBar used in Files for devices in Music. In the visual
aspect, the status bar across the full bottom of the app is deleted. A new side panel is
added to show the Album. Playback control features are moved to the top.

6. Keyboard Shortcut Cheat Sheet

- Juno will introduce a handy keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet upon pressing the ⌘ key.
For those who are searching for this key in the keyboard, let me quickly clarify that
this key is the famous Microsoft trademark “Windows key” which is typically called
as “Super” key in the Linux world.

- The shortcut cheat window will pop up as an overlay while at any screen, and will
automatically close when you use one of the shortcuts in the sheet or switch to
another window. Additionally, a little gear icon is available on the top right corner of
the cheat sheet for immediate access to the shortcut settings where you can customize
the shortcuts in the way you want.

7. Mouse and Touchpad Setting

- In the Mouse & Touchpad settings, a new option to disable the Mouse pointer
acceleration is added, in addition to hardware default, and adaptive options.

8. Bluetooth Setting

- Bluetooth settings get a bit of overhaul with user-friendly features added. Discovering
new devices now within the Bluetooth App. There is no additional GNOME Bluetooth
wizard to get distracted adding to the smooth user experience.

9. Location Setting
- Juno has better control over the privacy of your location and lets you know how many
levels of accuracy level is an app requesting. You’ll see a dialog asking for
permission and showing the accuracy level that an app wants from your computer.
Clicking on the link in the popup warning takes directly to location settings, where
you can control the permissions for the apps.

10. Picture-in-Picture\

- An all-new Picture-in-Picture mode makes it easier to keep tabs on a video or other

window while working on something else.

- Just hit ⌘+F, select the window or area you want to focus on, and a Picture-in-
Picture preview pops up in the corner of your display. This preview is movable,
 resizable, always-on-top, and can move with you across workspaces. To close it, just
hit the “X” at the top-left.

11. Screenshot Tool

- The Screenshot tool is switched from a dark style to a light one. The utility can now
remember your previous settings. New icons are added in place of verbose, making it
easy to choose between a screenshot of your whole display, the current window, or a
custom area. You can always hover over the icon to see a tooltip.
