Key changes compared to the fourth alpha version of COSMIC: <\/p>\n
- \n
- By default, the COSMIC Media Player is utilized as the multimedia player, which uses the Vulkan graphics API for rendering and VAAPI for video decoding. Additionally, a separate codec installer application is under development, which will eventually replace sessioninstaller.

<\/center> ![\"Fifth](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/eb283ff814f049892aec80cbb57ec676.png\")
<\/center>\n- A user account management page has been added to the configurator, allowing users to modify their account settings. Users with administrative rights can also add new users, change existing user data, and delegate privileged operations to other users.
![\"Fifth](\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/bdf8830ed40e94b015a19d2bacb4e282.png\")
<\/center>\n- The ContextDrawer widget now supports placing buttons in the header. For instance, in the file manager, buttons «<«, «>», and «[]» have been added to the right panel with additional information about the file, implemented via ContextDrawer, allowing navigation to the previous and next file, as well as opening the file in a separate application.

<\/center>\n- The file manager now allows saving new files in a new directory. Support for renaming files in search results has been added. The context menu shown in the recently opened files section now includes an option to view the directory containing the selected file.\n
- In the interface for switching between active windows, activated through Alt+Tab, the order of application windows now corresponds to the user's workflow with the applications (the first window shown will be the one the user worked with last, and the last one will be the one the user hasn't accessed for the longest time). To scroll in the reverse order, the combination Alt + Shift + Tab can be used.\n
- Expanded support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), which allows for adaptive monitor refresh rates to ensure smooth gameplay and video playback without tearing. When using VRR, the minimum refresh rate is now taken into account, guaranteeing smooth cursor movement even if an application outputs at a lower rate. This change is particularly noticeable when opening non-gaming applications in full-screen mode.\n
- Added the ability to open links from the terminal emulator by clicking the left mouse button on the URL. <\/ul>\n
