1. Gnome-Shell UX Tweaks

1.1. Short Description

Graphical Shells are basically what most of the users perceive as an Operating System. It is the main way through which users interact with different components of the OS and all other Apps. It has been a while since Command Line Interfaces were the only way to tell a computer what to do. Now, shells are more visual, intuitive and interactive. They contain and manage a virtual model of the tools you need in order to get your job done, like programs you use to draw, take notes, view pictures, listen to music, and the list can go on and on. Gnome-shell does exactly that: it controls the window system and manages opening and closing apps so that users can quickly switch between programs.

1.2. Main Features

The aim of the project is to:

• Update the look of the gnome-shell search results
• Add system actions to shell search
