Actually the global menu per se is not the issue here. Almost every commenter likes it; just not the way it behaves _exclusively_ (not "by default", since there are barely any options). So I would rephrase to say "All to save what? A few hours of a developer introducing the already designed options and just a maybe bigger but better code to maintain?" THAT's the "benevolent dictator"'s responsibility and only his (just read his despising words along the whole thread). His disdain for proper reasoning and logic is simply appalling and frankly depressing. Here's hope that some of the brilliant minds at Canonical (definitely not his), will take on the responsibility of making Unity 8 a better Unity by including AT LEAST the chance of add-ons that allow third parties to tweak it. Creating non-extensible software in 2014 sounds unbelievably prehistoric, so -again- I expect that we have AT THE VERY LEAST, an extensible-by-design Unity. At that point, we can stop worrying about Shuttleworth's reasoning skills and simply build persistent add-ons instead of patches that will be overwritten every other week. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682788 Title: Improve Unity Global Menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/682788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
