Distribution Release: Zorin OS 18.1 |
|
The Zorin project has published an update to Zorin OS. The latest version of the distribution, Zorin OS 18.1, introduces improved Windows application detection which allows for easy access to native Linux alternatives, the distribution provides tiling window improvements, and updates for the desktop panel. "The panel now works seamlessly with right-to-left scripts. That means if you're using Zorin OS in a language like Arabic, Hebrew, or Urdu, your taskbar and panel layout will display right-to-left to match the rest of the system's interface. Some apps might display their own indicator icon in the panel tray, allowing you to view the app's status or quickly access its functions. To let you decide if and how they're displayed, we've added a toggle for 'Tray Icons in the Panel' and settings for them to the Interface section of Zorin Appearance. You might also notice that Zorin OS 18.1 feels a bit faster and smoother. That's because many performance enhancements and bug fixes have been implemented throughout the desktop in this latest release." Additional details can be found in the release announcement.

Simply drag a window to the top of the screen, and a pop-up will appear where you can drop it on one of the predefined layouts to arrange your windows. It’s that easy, no need to memorise complex keyboard shortcuts. Create your own tiling layouts. Customise tiling behaviour from Zorin Appearance, Windows, Advanced Window Tiling.
