2024.04.28: TDE R14.1.2 released!

The Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to announce the immediate availability of the TDE R14.1.2 release.



TDE is a free/libre lightweight desktop environment intended for computer users preferring a lean and efficient experience. It is available for various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS. Low on system requirements, it is also an ideal choice for dated hardware, while still providing a fully usable desktop.

R14.1.2 is the biggest maintenance release to date, not only for the user-side improvements but also for the large amount of work that went into code cleanup and refinement behind the scenes. The major highlights of this version are:

• new graphical styles (Polyester, Fahrenheit, GTK-based Ia Ora) and six new color schemes
• fixed resizing issues with various Virtual Terminal based applications, like xfce and mate terminals or gvim
• several TQt3 memory leak and bug fixes
• an overall of the sftp tdeioslave authentication methods
• visual feedback for volume level through new kmix icons
• GUI option to allow selecting different shutdown dialogs
• notifications for keyboard layout switch
• DCOP extension for windows tiling
• enhancements or bug fixes for various applications

There are a lot of other changes both under the hood and visible to users, so please refer to the links below for a longer list and further details.

• Full version of the Release Notes (including screenshots of some features)

Upgrading from R14.1.1 should be straightforward.
