+This Indicator Could Just Make GNOME 'Activities' Out of Fashion
+======
+GNOME's surprising design decisions could work well. What do you think?
+GNOME's design team is back in the news after the recent proposal for [a new, unconventional window management][1] system in GNOME. They have now revealed a prototype for “rethinking” the Activities button on GNOME.
+
+This came in just yesterday when **Allan Day** opened an issue on GNOME's GitLab repo, explaining the difficulties with the current Activities button and how a new implementation could help.
+
+### A Pill instead of a Button
+
+![][2]
+
+Yes, you read that right. The GNOME design team aims to replace the Activities button with a **Pill-shaped dynamic workspace indicator** that allows for a more intuitive workspace-switching experience than before.
+
+As you can see above, the new Pill switcher works quite well and is slightly similar to the workspace switcher found on the i3 tiling window manager.
+
+I could also use my mouse's scroll wheel to instantly switch between workspaces without clicking on the Pill.
+
+You might be wondering, **what's the point of this?**
+
+Well, the design team found out that the **existing Activities button didn't exactly sit well** with many users and even caused confusion in some cases. Even first-time users were found not to interact with the button, as one would expect them to.
+
+After a long discussion with the design team, they concluded that the Activities label should be replaced with a more “abstract” visual element.
+
+You can check out the discussion on GNOME's [GitLab repo][3].
+
+📋
+
+The change is in its discussion phase and may or may not take place in the upcoming GNOME releases.
+
+**Want to try it out?**
+
+Well, the GNOME design team has provided **a very early work-in-progress shell extension** that can be installed on GNOME 44 systems.
+
+You can get it from [here][4] or click on the button to get the zip file.
+
+[activities-filled-pill_verdre.zip][4]
+
+If you don't know how to [install GNOME shell extensions manually][5], I suggest you follow the **fourth method** mentioned in our article below.
+
+Just start extracting the downloaded file before you do.
+
+![][6]
+
+So, wrapping up.
+
+This prototype seems to be shaping up quite well, and I can't wait to get my hands on this when it is officially available as part of GNOME.
+
+_💬 What about you? Are you looking forward to this?_
