Also, there&#8217;s the introduction of a Night Light mode that alters the screen to emit warmer colors and reduce brightness. Furthermore, GNOME 43 offers a built-in screenshot and screencast feature.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Also included in this release is easier configuration of Gmail accounts in the Mozilla Thunderbird email client as you can now sign in directly and you don\u2019t have to configure anything special.
