GNOME Shell

appDisplay

ui/appDisplay.js/FolderIcon now uses overview-tile app-folder style class instead of app-well-app app-folder.

And the edit icon for ui/appDisplay.js/AppFolderDialog folder name entry now uses icon-button style class instead of edit-folder-button.

Also app-well-app style class renamed to overview-tile and app-well-app-running-dot renamed to app-grid-running-dot for ui/appDisplay.js/AppIcon.

Calendar

ui/calendar.js/Calendar uses calendar-day-heading instead of calendar-day calendar-day-heading style class for weekday labels.

CtrlAtlTab

ui/ctrlAltTab.js/CtrlAltTabManager uses shell-focus-windows-symbolic icon instead of focus-windows-symbolic.

WorldClocksSection

ui/dateMenu.js/WorldClocksSection's header now uses no-world-clocks style class name when no world clocks have been set by the user.

WeatherSection

ui/dateMenu.js/WeatherSection now uses no-location style class name when the weather location can not be retrieved.

MessagesIndicator

ui/dateMenu.js/MessagesIndicator now uses messages-indicator style class name.

Message

Since the message list has been changed on GNOME Shell 46, ui/messageList.js/Message has new header (ui/messageList.js/MessageHeader) and time label (ui/messageList.js/TimeLabel).

Also ui/messageList.js/Message has datetime getter and setter for the time label.

The message box under message header has message-box style class name.

MessageTray

ui/messageTray.js/NotificationPolicy has new static newForApp() method that can create a new policy for the app.

ui/messageTray.js/Notification has new iconName getter and setter.

The new ui/messageTray.js/getSystemSource() allows you to get a system notification source that Main.notify() and most Shell notifications use.

PopupMenu

ui/popupMenu.js/Ornament enum added new NO_DOT to have less ambiguous symbols for radio options. This ornament will use ornament-dot-checked-symbolic and ornament-dot-unchecked-symbolic icons.

ui/popupMenu.js/Switch is using switch-on-symbolic and switch-off-symbolic icons for on and off.

Screenshot

Since session mode can disallow the screencast (sessionMode.allowScreencast), ui/screenshot.js/UIMode enum added new SCREENSHOT_ONLY.

Also, ui/screenshot.js/ScreenshotUI has new screenshot-taken and closed signals.

New Keybindings

New keybindings added in ui/windowManager/WindowManager since GNOME Shell 46 using new key bindings for opening a new instance of pinned applications (Super + Ctrl + Number).

BackgroundAppMenuItem close icon

The style class for background app menu item close button changed from close-button to icon-button.

Keyboard Model Configuration Support

Since keyboard model configuration support has been added (xkb-model), ui/status/keyboard.js/InputSourceSystemSettings has new getter and setter for keyboardModel and emitting keyboard-model-changed when the keyboard mode is getting changed.

ExtensionState

misc/extensionUtils.js/ExtensionState enum renamed some of the states:

Old	New
ENABLED	ACTIVE
DISABLED	INACTIVE
DISABLING	DEACTIVATING
ENABLING	ACTIVATING

St.Bin Expand Properties

St.Bin and all sub classes like Button, QuickSettingsItem, ... now only expand according to its expand properties (x-expand and y-expand), not when the alignment is set to Clutter.ActorAlign.FILL.

St.Button

St.Button label now defaults to plain text not Pango markup.

Clutter.cairo Hellpers

GNOME Shell 46 dropped Clutter.cairo helpers. If you are using Clutter.cairo_set_source_color() in St.DrawingArea, cairo.Context can use setSourceColor() instead (cr.setSourceColor()).

Meta.Barrier.display

Meta.Barrier.display is now deprecated. To get the backend barrier you can use global.backend which returns Meta.Barrier.backend.

Shell.BlurEffect

The sigma in Shell.BlurEffect should be replaced by radius. Since the sigma value is radius / 2.0, the radius value will be sigma * 2.0.

GJS

Clutter.Container

Clutter.Container was removed. To feature test you can do:

if (Clutter.Container === undefined) {
    console.log('No Clutter Container');
}

Clutter.Container.add_actor() and Clutter.Container.remove_actor() are deprecated and you should use Clutter.Actor.add_child() and Clutter.Actor.remove_child() instead.

So, instead of actor-added and actor-removed signals you can use child-added and child-removed.

Gio.UnixInputStream

Gio.UnixInputStream is moved to GioUnix and you should use GioUnix.InputStream instead.
