The clock looks horrible by default. As > seen in the attached screenshot. again. subjective. it does sound a bit like "i don't appreciate being disagreed with". closing a ticket as invalid because it just presents an opinion (and is expected to remain open for as long as the filter holds hat opinion) is not a bad thing. it's clearing up noise. opinions can indeed be had. they can be expressed and debated. but don't be surprised if an opinion ticket gets closed as "nope - disagree". if there were real artefacts here (e.g. in rendering) it'd be a problem and something to keep open... > https://phab.enlightenment.org/T5375 > > This is a valid bug/issue and should not be closed till resolved in > the current theme. you seem to think resolved == "do it my way because my opinion is the only one that counts". the clock was designed around he look of a nixie clock: https://i2.wp.com/www.fiz-x.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Large-Glass-Nixie-Clock.jpg and you see all the digits as unlit pieces of wire. the ticket was validly closed. it's invalid. it's not an artefact. it's not a bug. its intended design. so someone else didn't like it in the past too. so what? there is no such thing "as everyone likes this" when it comes to art. or style. or colors. it never exists. it's a design choice. like it or not. enough people like it. it's consistent with the look and feel. a few people saying "i don't like it" doesn't constitute a bug nor a reason to go changing it. a LOT of people (eg the majority) might justify it. there has been no mass outcry over it, so it remains in the opinion bucket. if you want - maybe start a vote and see what percentage of people like or dislike it (within the context of the theme as a whole - does it look nice/right with this theme look and feel?)... then you may be getting somewhere, but now you're getting into politics of "are you on my side or theirs? vote for me!" when this is clearly not a bug, an artefact or a mistake. it's intended design and we're arguing artistic merit, not technical issues. -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) ras...@rasterman.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
