Thank you kind Sir.
FYI: Previews still not working.
Need a bit more info - please describe what you are or are not seeing.
Sorry. Alt+Tab shows program icons instead of running previews
Have you enabled previews? Menu - Previews Control
Of course not, that would have made all this completely unnecessary. Insert (face-palm-emoji) here. Thank you.
All,
The two nemo v4.4 packages in budgie-welcome - recommendations (nemo-share, nemo-dropbox) have now been uploaded. These will need testing to confirm all is well.
All,
The 19.10 backports applets have now been uploaded to 20.04 - these will need testing to confirm all is well.
Basically all the applets listed in Menu - Budgie Applets should now be installable.
All,
vimix theme and qogirbudgie themes have now been updated for 20.04 and are available in Menu - Budgie Themes
Basically all themes in Menu - Budgie Themes should now be available to be installed.
All,
“Drawing” is now part of our default install. We have been looking at a straightforward, supported & lightweight painting app for ad-hoc use.
Do give it a try - feedback is welcome on the upstream tracker - https://github.com/maoschanz/drawing
All,
“GNOME Firmware” is now part of our default install. We join Ubuntu Mate and Ubuntu themselves to ship GNOME Firmware which can and should keep your desktop/laptop fully up-to-date with manufacturer updates (assuming your laptop is fully a linux supported computer).
All,
the biggest hidden part of budgie desktop has just now been updated in 20.04 - its the window manager called mutter.
So update/upgrade logout and login. Just use the desktop as normal. We are interested if you see anything out of the ordinary .e.g. window snapping, multiple screens, changing resolutions, vnc remote connections etc etc.
All current themes checked and only Yaru Dark is being obstinate: it stays just as white as Yaru.

ah - then you’ve got a “non linux friendly” laptop… good luck!
Thanks for the heads up on sysmonitor - yeah the “run on startup” option is not applicable for budgie - its an applet so would start automatically! It should be hidden. Cosmetic.
BTW Yaru isnt part of budgie-welcome… so guessing you’ve been playing with the yaru package?
Hmm I probably installed budgie from a normal 20.04 install in this machine 
Ill reinstall. My 2nd machine is up and running with a normal 20.04 Budgie install.
The orange colors look amazing. Lovely bright!
…not sure Maoschanz is completely happy about that 
We now ship with the tiny package called go-mtpfs. This supports the most popular Android phones and phones should appear automatically in Nemo (computer://) when an android phone is connected via USB. This should make transfer of files between your phone much easier.
Obviously there are other ways - cloud sync, kde connect etc - but since this is such a tiny package we think it is very useful.
Give it a try - let us know what you think.
Works perfectly,
Cowon J3 got picked up. So did my Nexus.
Did a re-install with the latest daily. The check at the beginning was a surprise. Have not seen any errors pop up from anything I use personally so I got a working system.
Trying to add more than 8 Workspaces with the Workspace Switcher applet results in getting suddenly kicked out of your session and back to the LightDM login prompt.
I cannot reproduce the behavior in Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 or 19.10. I think it may have been introduced as part of Budgie 10.5.1, as Solus exhibits a similar behavior. That said, Manjaro Budgie community edition does not exhibit this behavior, although it does forget that more than 8 workspaces were set up once a reboot occurs.
While it may or may not have been an intentional choice by the Budgie devs to not allow more than 8 workspaces anymore, the behavior should not result in getting fully kicked out of your session and losing your work.
