> This is exactly the reason why I really start to dislike ubuntu ... it seems like "we want you to use overlay-scrollbars, and the Ambiance theme, otherwise you may get a broken desktop".
Note that this specific issue is a GNOME one, see i.e https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670268, GNOME forced a specific size so it works only with their theme and the default locale,font. What we do is just to adjust that to the default Ubuntu theme, we don't really create any issue there > It's not their decision to stick with Totem 3.0, Evolution 3.2 it's because it's a lts cycle and those were problematic updates, they will get updated next cycle > So now I really am about to move to debian testing / Linux Mint Debian Edition, because they deliver a GNOME experience that is closer to as it was meant to be by the GNOME developers, not "crippled" by unity- specific patches. Good luck, those tweak their theme as well btw, and tend to have at least as many "is not up to date" issues than Ubuntu, note that Ubuntu has less and less patches to GNOME since the default desktop is Unity and not a patched GNOME > Should I write to the ubuntu-desktop mailing list about this, maybe as a > starting point for an open discussion about this issue? No real point, what is lacking to maintain a "first class citizen" GNOME is contributors wanting to maintain GNOME, and extra emails which will to the "lack of resources" reason will not bring you any closer from that ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #670268 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=670268 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974573 Title: gnome-control-center layout problems w/o overlay-scrollbars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/974573/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
