GSoC 2023 [Week 2 Report]: Add “Remote Desktop” page into the system panel

Project Title : Create a New “System” panel in GNOME Settings
Mentor : Felipe Borges
Contributor : Gotam Gorabh

Introduction

Implementing Remote Desktop page will allow user to access and control a computer or a desktop environment remotely from another location. It allows users to connect to a remote computer or server and interact with it as if they were physically present in front of it.

This week I will implement only the GUI of the Remote Desktop Page.

I will address this Issue(#2241) and implement this mockup in this project. For more details here is my Proposal.

Deliverables:

To create a Remote Desktop page, I added three files name cc-system-remote-page.c, cc-system-remote-page.h, and cc-system-remote-page.ui inside system folder.

Also modified cc-system-panel.c , cc-system-panel.ui , system.gresource.xml , and system/meson.build files.
