[Bug 305546] Re: Nautilus crashing/freezing when opening folder with svg file
And SVG thumbnails art still dragging the entire file browser down, sometimes without it given the ability to restart itself. This is as of _Lucid_ 14th April. I'd say that it is fair to suggest that there are likely zero audience members that expect standard thumbnailing activity to drag down their entire desktop. Symptoms of this _exact_ bug include: 1) Crashing Nautilus. As of Lucid, Nautilus attempts to restart on its own now. 2) Freezing Nautilus requiring a pkill on the CLI. 3) Freezing the entire system.

[Bug 438484] Re: Crash when thumbnailing an SVG file
Nautilus needs to be insulated from thumbnailers crashing the entire system. As it is now, and has been for at least four or five releases, I can easily drag down my entire desktop file browser via an SVG thumbnail or video codec thumbnail. Medium seems like a low priority given that these sorts of bugs completely prevent Nautilus from starting up - or worse - if the file is located on the audience member's desktop. It results in a system that is unrecoverable in terms of browsing a system, searching for files, etc. Is there a way of preventing a thumbnailer from crashing Nautilus?

[Bug 16128] Re: Wide color channels in Gimp
I wanted to bump this bug report with the news that Cinepaint is now considered unmaintained in Debian / Ubuntu and is possibly (?) not going to be included in Hardy. I will say beyond a shadow of a doubt that lacking _any_ application to do realtime manipulations in interfaces that are _close_ to Photoshop will hurt Ubuntu uptake. Every single DSLR camera on the market today offers the ability to shoot in RAW mode. While wonderful tools such as dcraw exist to push this into a usable open TIFF format, there will be no 'Photoshoplike' tools to manipulate the data. This is problematic. Blender can and will operate on these bit depths, but differ dramatically in the ease of slider based interfaces that most 'average' DSLR users would probably prefer. The GIMP developers have put 16 bits per channel and greater resolutions on the unimportant list for too long I fear, and we are now going to be faced with the very real smashing of reality (DSLR users almost exclusively use RAW manipulations in the deeper colour depth and they are becoming ubiquitous) that Free Software and Linux are falling _far_ behind mainstream dollar store applications. I urge anyone capable to attempt and seek resolution on this issue. It is _not_ a minor point as this also has huge implications in the feature film industry and its adoption of Linux. Having tools and infrastructure that operate on professional level bit-depths formats is vital to Free Software uptake, health, and simple practical 'every day' uses. -- Wide color channels in Gimp https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/16128 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 160311] Re: Window Resize Difficult (Window Border Thickness)
It is relatively painless to change the dimensions of the surrounding border for themes. That said, you may end up with a gaudy looking heavy window, but I assume that you don't care about that. To change border widths, simply open up the theme's Metacity XML file. For example, Human's theme is located in /usr/share/themes/Human/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml The stanza in question should be apparent: distance name=left_width value=5/ distance name=right_width value=5/ distance name=bottom_height value=5/ Try mucking with the values until you get something you are happy with.

No. Unfortunately, the gtkrc will not affect the panel properly. For example, if you tried to have gtkrc draw a 'flat box' or a custom drawn element for the panel, it will not apply using the class overrides. Apparently the gtkrc for the panel exclusively was to handle this, but has gotten lost somewhere along the line. In order to fully control the panel's theming, I can see no other way to accomplish this. The current method of introducing a panel image is extremely kludgy and doesn't elegantly handle all of the possibilities.

[Bug 80946] Re: desktop-effects human variant would be nice
I think you are entirely missing the point. Read the topic of the bug. The idea is to have a _Human_ variant. This means a very restricted set of design guidelines (albeit inferred as opposed to well documented) in order to fit in. The sources are provided and they are SVG which means that the antialiasing isn't really an issue at all as it is a product of a relatively good algorithm. There are people of two large general mindsets -- A) twiddle the heck out of something that is completely irrelevant to the average user or B) get the 'big picture' in place. In my eyes, the latter is more important than the former. Many people spend long hours twiddling the heck out of their work and fail to realize that ultimately, the average end user (lets propose 21-36) could care less about the effort the individual has exerted as it simply isn't a factor. Get the broad strokes down, then polish later. To that end, there is enough foundation building material within this thread to at _least_ alleviate the bug and work towards a more consistent presentation. The second 10 minute icon was an attempt to address what Etienne highlighted as a thematic issue.

However, if we can provide universal access with the default theme Sorry, there is no such creature. We need to focus on the fact that users fall into very strict needs. Specifically, this is no different than language based restrictions (and the related motifs that work only for particular cultures.) Perhaps we should consider some form of easily accessed hotkey combination or like tool that would flip Ubuntu into a particular accessibility needs mode? This would make it far easier for someone with distinct needs to access the proper look. It would be of use if we could somehow find needs based on the various motor / sense patterns -- perhaps offering visual / audible / motor augmentations so that they can be 'stacked' to meet the requirements of a given user. Throwing ideas out there with the hopes that something gels. Ultimately, however, there is no such creature as universal access. It is a Utopian myth. We need to be realistic about our target audiences for a given design pattern, and target them specifically.

[Bug 37603] Re: Ensure that foreground and background color combinations provide sufficient contrast when viewed by someone having color deficits
I would suggest that instead of implementing a poor 'middle' ground for these issues, it might be prudent to target the needs in an orthodox manner. That said, it would seem to make sense to target the fundamental theme at a larger percentage group. Demographics are an unfortunate reality in this circumstance. It would seem logical that someone with motor impairment not be forced to use a medium 'middle' ground window control in OSX, or colour impairment be forced to use the palette of the default view. Reality would obviously dictate that these such needs are quickly (in an ideal world ;) ) overcome by specific design semantics for each particular facility. I personally believe that if we can make it a mandate to acknowledge this, and begin designing Ubuntu centric design patterns for those elements, we would probably further the cause. The simple act of attempting to aim for universal access is, in my opinion, watering down our attempts at strictly addressing the needs of the many individuals who require a diligent and well planned design strategy to facilitate their computing.

This bug is largely surrounding resolution of background images -- so I have merged a bug thread that deals with multi-head resolutions. At the very least -- Feisty should provide at least ONE SVG background to accommodate all of these issues. I realize this isn't optimal for the users of such setups and extremely high resolution monitors, but it is at least a step in the proper direction and would address _all_ of the issues we see in this thread and the other merged bug report. The SVG issue will probably be addressed by the artwork community at large before the official default package as the artwork is handled by sabdfl, and he wasn't too keen on SVG during Edgy. Perhaps his opinion has shifted somewhat during the course of Ubuntu? sabdfl? That said, the community that is subscribed to this bug would gladly help you if we can get some solid aspect ratio issues out of the way. If you folks out there with multi-head support enabled could offer up some of your aspect ratios, it would be most helpful. HD is irrelevant as it is roughly 16:9 -- close enough to our dual format targets -- 4:5 and 16:10 (4:5 accomodates 4:3 etc, and 16:10 accomodates 16:9) For example, as a user who is not entirely familiar with Linux multi- head: 1) It appears your image is spread across all desktops. Is this an option? Can you set a secondary image (IE take two smaller images) and set each display independently? 2) When you set the 'zoom' parameter on the wallpaper setting, does it properly take into account both monitors? Use a test image to experiment if you can (Attached a sample.) Anyone who can take the time to accomplish this will would be greatly appreciated. I know that the community of artists at large would love to support your displays, so please take the time. Once again, it will probably take more effort to affect the default installation of Ubuntu -- but we need to start somewhere. Thank you all for your time. ATTENTION ARTISTS: Anyone out there with solid SVG skills who could possibly take up an experiment to generate the current default wallpaper in SVG format please step up.

[Bug 19549] Re: Usability : the default metacity theme must be accessible.
The bug reporting issue regarding design is getting a tad silly. We have no target audience for the design -- which is ultimately the problem. The aesthetic, whatever it ends up being, _will_ not and _can_ not please everyone. Also, permitting bug reports to be filed against any aspect is truly the path of folly. Most of the bugs should be marked by design by our lead designer. Of course, our lead designer is sabdfl and he is probably too busy. It is completely impossible to even _consider_ 98% of these bugs. Accessibility should be very high on Ubuntu's list, but it is similar to language. We need _SPECIFIC_ design patterns for _SPECIFIC_ accessibility issues, and provide a look / feel for each. -- Usability : the default metacity theme must be accessible. https://launchpad.net/bugs/19549 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 72143] Re: please revert startup sounds
While one can discuss the merits of the sounds on aesthetic grounds, I would like to address the latter portion of your comment. Currently, the modern world moves at the speed of thought -- it changes, it morphs, it is nebulous. It is possible that an operating system that strives to be contemporary and modern should _perhaps_ attempt to permit such metamorphosis. I wholeheartedly agree with you that consistency is worthy of concern, but I believe the current branding of Ubuntu serves that purpose -- without focusing on the minutiae. The consistency is constructed from the cohesive sum of the whole, not the discreet partial elements. Where the technology within Ubuntu can change quite dramatically, we should permit for the possibility of the same on aesthetic functionality. Ultimately, change is healthy. We will certainly make mistakes in the process, but that is the nature of innovation. Our operating system should strive to push new limits, set new standards, and, most importantly, change at the rate that society is changing. That is part of the beauty of it. -- please revert startup sounds https://launchpad.net/bugs/72143 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 72143] Re: please revert startup sounds
but the old sounds were much more relaxing, professional the previous sounds were really professional It seems over the Edgy cycle this term 'professional' was bandied around as some catch phrase. This is especially interesting when considering the compositions of the various teams and the education / professional background of the participants. Once again, it seems the issue here is change. I am quite certain that if one were to conduct a poll, the sounds would attain an acceptable level of approval. I am quite certain that there are disagreements over coding style, documentation grammar, etc., that are all as relevant -- but perhaps not quite as high profile. We _are_ a team however, across all of the various elements, and we need to support each other. Ultimately, reversion is probably not the wisest choice -- as progression would seem more appropriate. Further still, until we _concretely_ define Ubuntu creative design policy and treat it with the same attention as we do with the technological aspects, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Perhaps we should be discussing the mechanics of design that 'work' for Ubuntu versus, such as useful terms as 'relaxing' etc. This is all far more critical towards building a comprehensive design philosophy as opposed to dissecting the smallest of details regarding our current evolutionary state. Let's work towards the future, not mimicry of the past.
