- This 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:
+ The lock screen is a major new feature for GNOME 3.6. It provides an attractive display
+ while your computer is locked, as well as useful functionality, such as the display of notifications
+ and the ability to control media playback.

- display notifications, so that you can see what is happening even if the

- The new lock screen also accomplishes several secondary goals. It creates a
- much smoother and more satisfying login experience. Creating the lock
- screen, we made something that feels nice to use, and which sets
- the tone for your encounter with your device. 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.
+ Login has also been addressed as a part of the lock screen feature. The result is a smoother and
+ more satisfying experience when you log into or unlock your computer.
