The new features include: * The shell has been given a makeover and now looks half-decent (Richard) * There is a new XML-based configuration archiving system, imported from the Ximian setup tools (Bradford). * A new bonobo-conf-based capplet architecture makes capplets much easier to write (Bradford) * The sound, keyboard, and background capplets now use bonobo-conf (Bradford, Richard) * The screensaver capplet has been given a UI facelift (Richard) * The control center and libcapplet now use pkgconfig (Havoc) * As always, numerous bug fixes (everyone) * Installation instructions and prerequisites This version of the control center requires the following packages in addition to the GNOME 1.4 platform: * bonobo-conf 0.8, available at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/bonobo-conf/bonobo-conf-0.8.tar.gz * pkgconfig 0.8, available at http://www.freedesktop.org/software/pkgconfig/releases/pkgconfig-0.8.0.tar.gz * gtkhtml >= 0.9 (0.10.1 preferred), available at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gtkhtml/gtkhtml-0.10.1.tar.gz * gal >= 0.9, available at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/unstable/sources/gal/gal-0.9.tar.gz In addition, libcapplet must be compiled before control-center or control-center-plus Please download and try this out.
