Update on what happened across the GNOME project in the week from June 26 to July 3.

Third Party Projects

Haydn Trowell says

The latest version of Typesetter updates the built-in Typst compiler to version 0.15, which brings a long-awaited feature: variable font support – no more warnings and faulty font rendering when using your system’s default fonts. This release also adds a popularly requested feature to the editor: manual font size adjustment – use the standard keyboard shortcuts to make the text larger and smaller.

Shell Extensions

Fabiano Junior says

Hello everyone! I’ve just released new updates for ChromaLeon , my extension that extracts and applies colors from your wallpaper to your GNOME Shell and LibAdwaita theme.

The focus of these updates was refinement: the color extraction system is now smarter, ensuring better compliance with WCAG accessibility guidelines regarding contrast. Additionally, I’ve improved the icon generation system (folders and apps) to make it much faster and more efficient, now generating icons almost instantly.

You can check out the project on GitHub and GNOME Extensions .

Miscellaneous

Cleo Menezes Jr. | World Cup mode 🇧🇷🇧🇷 says

Mosaic WM is maturing and being refined, polishing the rough edges, finding bugs, hearing from you.

To do that, I’ve created a Matrix room and I’d like you to be there. You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who wants to help make it better.

Internships

Five weeks into GSoC 2026, I’ve made solid progress on GPU reset recovery in Mutter!

When a GPU reset occurs, Mutter currently has no way to recover; the desktop either freezes or crashes. My project implements a recovery path: detecting the reset, waiting for it to complete, recreating the context, and propagating that change through the compositor to recreate resources so rendering can resume.

The display now comes back after a reset, and the session remains usable, though there’s still work ahead: notably, automatic framebuffer recreation and fixing the desktop background, which currently renders with garbled textures after recovery.

Read the full details, including a demo: https://blogs.gnome.org/anonymoux47/2026/07/02/gpu-reset-recovery-in-mutter-a-progress-update

That’s all for this week!

See you next week, and be sure to stop by #thisweek:gnome.org with updates on your own projects!
