=== Dynamically Rotating Wallpapers ===
== Cinnamon Spin ==
The Cinnamon desktop version 2.6 is now available as a Spin for Fedora 23. Cinnamon is a modern desktop environment based on the GNOME Shell, with advanced features and a traditional and flexible user experience.


Fedora developers originally introduced dynamically rotating wallpapers in Fedora 8 and pushed this ability to upstream GNOME so that it available for other distributions as well. We are now taking advantage of this feature again this release by including several wallpaper designs proposed and they rotate automatically on regular intervals. The Fedora Design team would like to hear from your feedback on these wallpapers and we will pick one of them to be the default for the general release of Fedora 12.
Updates and improvements in this release include:
* Improved multi-monitor support
* HTML5 and XScreenSaver support for animated screensavers
* Panel management improvements
* New inhibit applet to hide notifications and temporarily suspend power saving events
* Redesigned system settings panel for improved usability
* Accessibility improvements, including better support for ATK/Orca, magnifiers, and and a new On-Screen Keyboard applet
