     <p>GNOME 3.26 introduces a transformed Settings application. The
     previous grid of icons is gone and, in its place, a sidebar allows
-    switching between different areas.</p>
-    <p>The new sidebar makes it much easier and quicker to navigate the
-    settings application and places the most commonly used settings within easy
-    reach. It also means that the Settings window is now bigger and can be
-    resized, which can be more comfortable in a lot of situations.</p>
-    <p>GNOME's network settings have been improved as a part of this work:
-    Wi-Fi now has its own dedicated settings area and has more space and the
-    network settings dialogs have also been reworked, so that they are neater,
-    clearer and easier to use.</p>

     <title>Redesigned Display Settings</title>
     <media type="image" src="figures/placeholder.png"/>
     <p>GNOME's display settings have been redesigned for 3.26. The new design
-    aims to bring relevant settings to the forefront, so it is easy to get an
-    overview of how your displays are setup. When there are multiple displays
-    connected, a simple row of buttons allows you to choose how you want to use
-    them.</p>
-    <p>One major highlight is a new scaling setting, which allows the size of
-    controls and text on the screen to be adjusted. This makes it possible to
-    adjust the density of what's shown on your display in order to make it
-    comfortable to use.</p>

+    a simple row of buttons allows you to choose how you want to use them.</p>
+    <p>The new display settings include a preview version of a new scaling
+    setting. This allows the size of what is shown on the screen to be adjusted
+    to match the density (often expressed as PPI or DPI) of your display,
+    resulting in the right amount of content being displayed, as well as making
+    it easy to read.</p>
+    <p>The display scaling feature is expected to mature in future releases.
+    For the best experience, Wayland is recommended over X11 (per-display
+    configuration is not supported on X11).</p>

+    <list>
+      <item><p>Windows now smoothly transition when they are maximized, unmaximized or snapped to one half 
of the screen. As well as looking good, this makes it easier to track what's happening on screen.</p></item>
+      <item><p>The size of window thumbnails has been increased in the Activities Overview, making it easier 
to pick the window you want.</p></item>
+      <item><p>The top bar now becomes transparent when there aren't any maximized windows. This is more 
attractive and gives a better sense of space.</p></item>
+      <item><p>The dialogs which inform you when an application isn't responding have a new style, making 
them look more integrated and refined.</p></item>
