We agreed we need to ask the user explicitly about some things on first startup. This is not my idea - I would have been fine with some default choices. But we had super-long discussions and arguments about the default UI which seem to have reached a wide agreement on doing this. As for the dark/light mode - that's more debatable, although many apps ask about this on startup. > We should NOT pester people with this kind of nonsense But we already pester people with nonsense on startup - with tip of the day. I have to apologize though, I wrote tooltip and meant to say tip of the day. > The UI picker as evolved was sufficient, it hinted that the MUFFIN > assemblages were available as alternatives.

If we decide the only thing to ask on startup is for a choice of UI mode, we could have the startup screen only contain that. > We don't need to do hand-holding to walk folks through it--that's just > insulting to even the average user. I don't believe that UI mode selection is insulting hand-holding. Other ideas, like choosing whether or not to show the sidebar, are silly hand-holding and I would agree with you on that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
