This could be a little off topic here, but I'm not subscribed to gnome-cc, so please forgive me. Reading that discussion it seems that only setting a "well behaving" default, users will no longer have the need or desire to change the appearance of label|icons in their desktop. So, in 2.28 release we are going to change: * button icons * menu item icons * toolbar item icon+text layout AND we are going to remove the only UI available to play with those setting. This seems to impose only one behavior, not very user friendly > However, before we do so, we would like to ensure the the defaults are > correct. The main reason for the tab being there at all is because > people felt the defaults are probably incorrect. To be honest and FWIW, I never changed the icon+text default; and I was sure that Interface tab was designed to allow people to fit their own needs. About the "text beside label" chage, what about a11y? Is this layout really better for visually impaired people (i.e. the ones using HighContrast themes) or it will cause a sort of "visual mess"? So, I'm not against the "text beside label" change, but I feel the removal of Interface tab a regression. It you really don't want to expose it in main dialog, move in Details. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
