| In Budgie 10.4, most of the configuration options have been moved to a stand alone application named Budgie Settings. It provides options to changes various desktop, panel, applet and window manager related configurations. |
 |
| Budgie 10.4 provides support for panel transparency. You can set panels to be always transparent, not to be transparent and to adopt transparency dynamically. |
 |
| Budgie 10.4 release provides support for panel dock mode. When panel is in dock mode, it will take as much space as required. |
 |
| In Budgie 10.4 release, panels can be configured vertically. Most of the applets in panel will adjust automatically to occupy available panel space. |

 |
| Night Light applet will help you to turn on pleasant screen settings in dark atmosphere. It will help to reduced eye pain and stress while using computers for a long time during night. |
 |
| After moving most of the configuration options to Budgie Settings, Raven Widget is more compact now. It includes recently shown notifications and a few applets. |
 |
| Monitoring resources usage using gnome system monitor. Personally, I feel like budgie is no more eligible to be called as a lightweight desktop environment. It is more resource consuming comparing to previous releases, may be due to change in underlying gnome stack. Same effect was observed with gnome shell as well. |
 |
| User indicator applet shows various options to leave budgie workspace. |
 |
| Shutdown confirmation |
