     <title>Windows View</title>
-    <p>The window view in the Activities Overview has been substantially revised and improved for 3.8. The 
view uses space more efficiently, making window thumbnails much larger and therefore easier to recognise. In 
previous versions, window thumbnails were the same size. With this release, they are scaled according to 
their actual size. Again, this makes individual windows much easier to identify. The result of these changes 
is a more effective window switching experience which is a big improvement over previous releases.</p>

used applications, which means that you don't have to spend time looking for the things you use most often.

Activities Overview search into a powerful way to access the content provided by your applications. The new 
search settings complement this by giving control over which applications present search results as well as 
their order in the results list.</p>
