+ This is a big one, and it is something that has been on the drawing board
+ for a while. The lock screen has a single primary aim: to provide useful
+ functionality when the screen is locked. Right now, this means we:
+ </p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item><p>
+ show the time and date in nice big letters, so you can see it when not directly in front of the device
+ </p></item>
+ <item><p>
+ allow pausing and skipping media playback, as well as changing the volume
+ </p></item>
+ <item><p>
+ display notifications, so that you can see what is happening even if the
+ device is locked, and you can get a summary of what youâve missed when you
+ return to your machine (you can turn this off if you have privacy
+ concerns, and we plan to add extra configurability in the future)
+ </p></item>
+ </list>
+
+ <p>
+ You shouldnât have to enter a password in order to pause a song that you are
+ playing, and you shouldnât have to dig around your machine to see what has
+ happened while you are away. With the lock screen, you no longer have to.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The new lock screen also accomplishes several secondary goals. It creates a
+ much smoother and more satisfying login experience. Creating the lock
+ screen, we wanted to make something that feels nice to use, and which sets
+ the tone for your encounter with your device. To that end, weâve given the
+ lock screen a nice, tactile quality. The screen is designed to resemble a
+ curtain, or a shield, that is removed to reveal the login screen beneath.
+ That suggestion of layering and physicality enhances the experience of using
+ GNOME 3, and is a pattern that is being introduced in other places.
+ </p>
+
+ <note style="hint">
+ <title>Keyboard shortcut</title>
+ <p>The new lock screen is of course accessible by more than a mouse. Press
+ escape to get to the password prompt</p>
