Coolest new feature:
Layered Screenshots It’s a new preference, and it’s turned off by default since it’ll make some pretty big images- but you can now take screenshots where every window gets its own layer, and the layers are organized by applications in layer groups. So now you can take a screenshot, and not worry because your background has something funky in it, or you are surfing porn in another window that accidentally got included in. Just delete or uncheck the visibility for that layer. TADA. It’s also awesome for grabbing parts of windows when you are doing UI mockups.

Hex Color Picker 1.5
It’s out, and as Jesper says, it’s “extremely universal”—it does 32- and 64-bit, PowerPC and Intel, and PowerPC-Rosetta. And it has a couple of easter eggs.
It’s pretty much the only color picker I use.
“ So I think Gnome and KDE are stuck with a problem similar to the uncanny valley. By establishing a conceptual framework that mimicks Windows, they can never really be that much different than Windows, and if they’re not that much different, they can never be that much better. If you want to make something a lot better, you’ve got to make something a lot different.
