This way you can put Empathy on the public schedule for Intrepid+1 (+2?) and add a note there: "If you want to test or use this app now, apt-get it into your current Ubuntu." This likely helps to settle Empathy's integration and getting it a lot more testing before it's meant to give those important first impressions of Ubuntu. my $0.02, MarKus - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dipl.

Re: Call for testing empathy
Reasonably fair point. It's just that that WOULD have been Hardy if there wasn't a packaging oopsy wrt. connection manager dependencies. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I must admit, on a large screen moving all the way from top to bottom of the scrollbar is a royal pain. I wouldn't mind having easier targets. I remember if you clicked and held the center button/scroll wheel on Windows you could drag the page around a bit as well, to keep from having to go to the scrollbar. Can't figure out how to do that on Ubuntu, but then I'd rather not sacrifice middle-click-to-paste either. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: Call for testing empathy
Here's my other thought: I personally don't have Intrepid to test this software out. Hardy doesn't have a functioning version (without going into PPA and manual setup, which is not what most people will do). Jumping straight into having it replace Pidgin might be hasty. Consider getting a stable program in the OS for a release before making it default. I am admittedly ignorant as to how stable Empathy and its extensions are. Since several others and myself have never /heard/ of it before, I assume it's a relatively new project. -- Luke L. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
Re: Intuitive "Popup" Scrollbars
I think there's little chance we'll be diverging from upstream GTK on a component as important as this. I suggest you take this concept straight to GTK. -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

Have you tested it? If so, on how many people? It would be an interesting thing to test. I wonder how difficult it would be to modify a few apps to use that method, so that we can try it out and get our friends/family to try it out as well. -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

You can always just drag, so I don't see a problem there. I already use highlighting of the indicator on hovering the bar and a cursor change to encourage to not aim for the indicator. > The scroll arrows should have a timer for when they disappear.

Other entries: - page-wise stepping on click-hold (switch to sliding on drag) - continued scrolling on hitting screen edges - additional horizontal version - drawing button areas all the way to the top/bottom to leave no doubt about target areas - better name (I'm using dynamic scrollbars now) - look into packaging deb/ppa I started to use bzr/launchpad: https://code.launchpad.net/~t-w-/+junk/dynamic_scrollbar Current state is pretty dodgy, not useful for testing. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
