 ==== Appearance ==== ==== Appearance ====
  
 +=== Cosmic Wallpaper ===

-==== Panel Plugins ====+=== elementary Xfce Icon Theme 0.13 === 
 +The latest version of [[https://github.com/shimmerproject/elementary-xfce|our icon theme]] includes the manila folder icons as seen in the [[https://github.com/elementary/icons|upstream elementary icon theme]]. Additionally, our icon theme is now optimized with optipng, meaning a smaller install size and potentially improved load times.
  
-=== PulseAudio Plugin ===+{{:releases:18.10:manilla-folders.png|}}
  
 +=== Greybird 3.22.9 ===
 +The latest [[https://github.com/shimmerproject/Greybird|Greybird]] release improves the look and feel of our window manager, alt-tab dialog, Chromium, and even pavucontrol! The notebook styles look significantly better and consistent with our other applications.
