The Files / Nautilus application in GNOME Shell is certainly the most confusing. I'm a system and network administrator for 25+ years... I have no idea what that gear icon / drop-down menu is supposed to mean. In most apps I don't have any real issues with the menus - Files / Nautilus is currently a mess. > The other problem with AppMenu is that iit's far from the window > content so it requires a long trip for the mouse. > But we already discuss these concerns in the list and almost everybody > agreed that the AppMenu requires a deep redesign. I'm not sure what a "deep redesign" is; but, for the record, I'm certain I would not agree with that. The intent of the AppMenu seems quite clear and it works just fine in current versions even with focus-follows-mouse. It needs some polish, and some consistency across applications [which, really, is up to the applications to do]. I do not see any "deep" problems. Mostly, it just seems a bit arbitrary; but that is not surprising, categorization is actually really hard. What is obvious to one is oblivious to another; that doesn't give either side a moral high-ground [and it is really JUST A @*$&*@ MENU AFTER ALL]. It will probably settle down to a defacto standard given time. -- Adam Tauno Williams GPG D95ED383 Systems Administrator, Python Developer, LPI / NCLA _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
