This might not look like much, but it’s my first boot into a fresh elementary OS 5 Juno install from an image created entirely automatically on CI, using a new process. Next steps:
1. Test the crap out of it
2. 5.1

elementary OS protip: Hot Corners let you use certain features by just throwing your mouse cursor into the corner of the display. Head to System Settings → Desktop → Hot Corners to set them up just how you’d like!
Dark styles are hard to get right. We get see the benefits and are planning to implement it properly in elementary OS, but it takes this kind of cross-desktop work first. One of the big blockers right now is WebKitGTK (the web rendering engine we use on elementary OS).
RT @CassidyJames@twitter.com
As platforms and browsers implement dark style preferences, I’m over here trying to help the FreeDesktop align on a sane spec. Browser engines, you’re not helping! Check out these pretty normal situations on the web, and how major web engines render them: https://cassidyjames.com/dark-demo/

Look at these sweet input interactions.

elementary OS protip: tap the ⌘ (Windows, Command, or “Super”) key to see a cheat sheet of system keyboard shortcuts—like window and workspace controls, screenshots, and features like Picture in Picture . Want to change any? Hit the ⚙️ button to jump into keyboard settings.

We had a very productive conversation and are building a path forward to support vendor styles in GNOME, thinking specifically about how to navigate both OEMs' and app authors' concerns and wishes. We're very happy to share our experience in this area from elementary!
