Re: Alternate-tab extension: bring each selected window to the front
2012/2/6 Pallai Roland d...@magex.hu: Hi, One habit I can't change for Gnome3 is the application based alt+tab. I'm using the alternate-tab extension but I found sometimes is pretty hard to find the right window by title. The alternate-tab extension with the attached patch brings each window to the front in turn as Alt+Tab is pressed if this behaviour is enabled; see http://youtu.be/h8MychGxObI It's much more comfortable in many situations without drawbacks. What do you think about this behaviour? Is there a better way to implement or achieve it? (I know about hotkey switch windows of an app directly but that brings back the application based behaviour what I dislike.) This is definitely an interesting behaviour, and therefore I applied the patch to my local repository. It will be public as soon as I sort out some minor issues. Thanks a lot!

Matching Thunderbird application
Hi everybody, I have switched to using Thunderbird as a mail client. I am having matching problems using Gnome Shell 3.2.2 and Thunderbird 10 on Arch Linux. More explicitly, I am observing the following: a) If I launch Thunderbird from the favourites (or from Gnome Shell's application list), Gnome Shell correctly matches it and Thunderbird favourite icon in the dash lights up. That is, the application is launched with WM thunderbird, as seen in looking glass, which correctly matches the name of the desktop file, i.e. /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop. b) If I launch Thunderbird by typing thunderbird in a command line or in Alt + F2 run dialog, or by double clicking its desktop file in /usr/share/applications/, then matching breaks because the application has WM Mozilla Thunderbird. Situation b) is annoying because I usually auto-start the mail client by ln -s /usr/share/applications/thunderbird.desktop /home/user/.config/autostart/. Now, this gives me an un-matched thunderbird application with its ugly icon upon login. I know this might simply be Mozilla's bad behaviour, or something wrong with the package. I just wanted to understand why it works when I launch Thunderbird from the dash, before I ask Mozilla or Arch devs how to fix this! Thanks a lot for any hint. I am enclosing the desktop file it ir might help.

Re: Interested in development
Welcome! As Sam mentioned you can check out our bug server and find out what needs to be worked on. You should also subscribe yourself to the gnome-love mailing list (go to http://mail.gnome.org/ (read the code of conduct)) It is a mailing list to ask questions on the GNOME stack. You can also go here: http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome For general information. Thanks for taking an interest, GNOME's greatest resource is our volunteers and we hope that you'll get something from your contributions as we would with yours! To learn specifically about gnome-shell, you'll need to understand it's pre-requisites and how the platform works. Specifically, start with GObject. Read everything here: http://developer.gnome.org/ Thanks, sri On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 11:13 PM, nitin chadha contact.nitincha...@gmail.com wrote: hey all, my name is nitin , and i am from Bangalore, India. i am an open source enthusiast and am doing my under graduation in computers. i am good at programming in c, c++, c#, python and javascript. i would like to contribute to gnome-shell. how do i proceed. i have seen various pages on gnome site and one thing i must do is to build gnome from source. afterwards ? a bit about me i have been coding for almost 3-4 years now in various programming languages ( from among i mentioned above. ) i have made various sites using dot net framework and python ( eg : www.tnpuiet.com ). i have also contributed to python and have spoken at pycon india 2011 ( http://urtalk.kpoint.in/kapsule/gcc-0b356a25-fdd0-4068-8bc8-ea552f6a6c61 ). i love to code and contribute to opensource. have also started an open source club at my university by name of Panjab University Linux user group ( http://groups.google.com/group/pulug ) i got into gnome while developing an application for gnome. i am still in middle of making it and have been reading the documentation and samples. hoping for great pointers -- Regards, Nitin Chadha ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list ___ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list

gnome-love? I sense one of the first autocorrect fails on this mailing list may have just occurred.. ha, but yes, if there were a guide to familiarize people with the layout of the Wayland code, it would be excellent.

gnome-shell is not a Wayland compositor yet.
