Not only does it look better, but it’s also much faster, more responsive and more customizable than the old one. Background slide shows set in Cinnamon continue to play in the new screensaver. On laptops the battery power is shown, so you can see if you’re running low without having to log in. It is now possible to make Cinnamon play a sound when a notification pops up. In the MintMenu application menu, the Google CSE search engine was replaced with DuckDuckGo. Xplayer, the media player, was given the availability to blank other monitors.” You can read release announcement here for Cinnamon and Mate.
