- Introduced a new applet for managing Bluetooth devices, including setting Bluetooth to “Airplane mode”.
- Improved the tile preview animation, so it originates at the window being tiled
- Desktop experience options now expanded by providing you the ability to:
- Enable desktop icons
- Select different cursor themes
- Select different fonts for things like Window Titles, Interface, etc.
- You now have the option to disable the region theming for the panel as well
