[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
Thank you for all the help and especially thank you for this fix mnrl. But I cant seem to get it to work, ive tested out various way of adding this ppa and applying the fix but i keep getting duplicate ppa error and it doesn't work, now it keeps wanting me to restart Ubuntu to apply changes, i do and then it says to restart again. If there is a guide somewhere for the exact steps to take when doing this then that would be great, im sure the problem is on my part i just have no idea what to do to fix it :( -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I hate to be the one who argues, especially on such a professional forum over something that doesn't help the topic at hand. This feature was available in 12.04, either by users or by the Ubuntu team themselves, i'm not sure of which. What i do know is that this feature was a welcomed addition to the user experience. Also you think i'm not aware of this issue being opened for so long. Its because I have basically been waiting from the beginning for the Ubuntu team to fix this mistake. Next time you get on to tell someone their wrong because you just want to sound smart, or whatever your problem is. Be it trolling or whatever, please refrain from posting anything that doesn't help this issue, this is a bug report and discussion about the topic of adding the minimize on launcher click feature to Ubuntu, so if your not gonna be of any help, then stay off the forum. :) best regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
Forgive me for starting the comments in such a way, I am simply tired of seeing the Ubuntu team make poor choices in terms of functionality. Some can be good and some can be bad but unfortunately right now the bad out weigh the good. And this feature is still available by users for at least = 12.04, and given that your first comment starts with PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, it doesn't sound like your posts are of any help here as you say in doesn't help this issue. Please direct me towards a PPA that i can install to allow this feature for 13.10 or 14.04, that is if you can which i highly doubt is possible without having to build unity from scratch. Also, you got something wrong there, this is not supposed to be a forum where anyone posts his/her useless opinions, this is supposed to be a *bug tracker*. Honestly i don't really care what its called. The point of the matter is to comment on the situation and make it a bigger deal. I know that the Ubuntu team has decided that they will not fix this issue but if we continue to heat this argument then maybe that will change, but sitting here complaining about how other people are wrong isn't helping anything. The point of this discussion is to help the Ubuntu team understand what we find is wrong with the current functionality and how they can go about fixing it. Though commenting here won't have any effect on the official versions of Ubuntu anyway, Canonical has decided it neither likes the proposed feature nor does it like customization. I cannot help but feel you are missing the point of this conversation entirely. If there is a problem and no one talks about it or makes any comments about how there is something wrong, does that problem ever get fixed? NO! Please add reason and persuasion to your comments and MAYBE the Ubuntu team will see this and decide to attempt a fix. best regards -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 733349] Re: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Ayatana design team, development team, whoever is in charge of overseeing this subject! I beg of you, in the nicest way i can possibly ask, please fix this issue. This single issue is the bane of my existence, i cant seem to adjust but i was able too in 12.04 BECAUSE it had this feature. This was the key feature that made me turn away from windows and even mac because it was a complete system, it had all the functionality that i needed to be very very productive. I EVEN HAD ONE OF MY COLLEGE PROFESSORS TRY THIS OUT, EVEN HE SAID IT WAS AMAZING! but now this feature is gone and i find Ubuntu clunky and hard to use because of all the screen clutter that exists. Like the bug description says, that design would be perfect, but if that is too hard to implement, at least give us the benefit of the doubt by just adding this feature to single windows instead of a window stack. I can try to live with this and id be more than happy to return to Ubuntu. This shouldn't be hard to do since i had this implemented on a 13.04 install but it was buggy cause unity didn't agree with this modification so ultimately it was unusable but regardless this feature would make 14.04 perfect. I know i speak for a lot of people when i say that this would be ideal in terms of functionality. I already feel that unity is nice in that it offers a different desktop experience but one that is well thought out in terms of functionality, however this one simple issue, to me, has caused its use to be difficult even new users find it hard to use because they normally come from windows and mac and say why doesn't the launcher minimize my app, that doesn't make any sense! Then they tell me they don't like it and want to go back to windows, myself included. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I will join a design team if i have to, i will gladly contribute to this cause, i am a computer science graduate so i know i can at least be of some assistance. Also kudos on the integrated menu, i was amazed by that cause i didn't think there was a way to make it better, but you continue to amaze. Now if we can just get this one little tiny thing in there it'd be PERFECT! Thank you Ubuntu team for all of your hard work in designing probably THE nicest desktop environment in the world, and to make it even better, its free! for this i thank you! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking its Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: Ubuntu
Hi Julius You can certain install in 157MB of RAM, however I would most strongly suggest using the Alternate Desktop CD to install with. On the www.ubuntu.com download page, you can check Check here if you need the alternate desktop CD. This CD does not include the Live CD, instead it uses a text-based installer, to download this version of the installer. I have successfully installed Ubuntu on 128MB of RAM with the alternate CD without any issues (however the OS was a little 'laggy' when running due to the low memory), whereas using the LiveCD install would virtually make this impossile with this amount of RAM. As a general guide, if your system has anything less than 384MB of RAM, use the Alternate CD to install Ubuntu. I hope this is of some help!

I can't really use any other colours (even if I think they'll look better) because I want to stick to the official Ubuntu colour pallet.

Now it hardly stands out at all since it is the same color as the background behind it, and of most windows. Speaking of the windows, I really like the way the titlebar and menu bar are visuially connected int the active window. In the unactive window where it looks like just a gradient from brown to tan looks very ugly to me.

Re: [ubuntu-art] Icon theme suggestion
Although artistically very talented I found them a bit too much for icons on a desktop. They draw too much attention, I also think the unflinching use of a few colours (orange I am talking about you) detracted a lot from the look of the icons. You only want to find an icon when you need it, they don't all need to scream at you all of the time. I think a few subtle changes could make this set workable though, thinner lines, more use of subdued, natural colours (colours that would be found in the real world object that the icon represents).

I agree with both points of view. People are always a bit sensitive about work that they have done, so it might make for a more effective message if a more constructive approach were taken. The mockup is good, I mean technically it would make a window manager that would work, and it looks clean. However it does seem rather derivative, and doesn't inspire much excitement and it's not very original. So I'd encourage the author to try again, but have him know that his work will have a much better chance of survival if he follows the guidelines, which where well pointed out in the last post... Regards, Daniel. I for one, found it very based in reality and not intimidating. Actually, I would have said about the same thing. Asking questions of the author is a good way for everyone to sit back and think about what they are doing before they start drawing things which include unrealistic things like changing our logos/branding. Not to mention the fact that we are trying to move away from the gloss, not towards it - anything that everyone else already does today is something that we do not want to do. As a rule we want to move forward and not just keep up with the others. -- Kenneth -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

How is the essential layout and set of concepts between Gnome, KDE and Windows any different? Taskbar, tray, Start button, panels, windows, min/max/close buttons, desktops, icons, drag/drop, etc. It's non essential. It's pure frivolity. But I always felt that KDE was much closer in look and feel (out of the box so to speak) to Windows 95 than Gnome was. And you know, that was a good thing, according to people that set up low cost internet cafes and such. They could have computers that looked and felt like windows at a fraction of the cost. I just didn't think it was 'fun'. I think both 'lean and mean' and 'ultra configureable' are both important open source traits. We chose Gnome... In my experience, installing Gnu/Linux on *very* old machines, Gnome was just too slow. KDE was much better but Xubuntu was best of that breed. Actually, (I can't recall the name, but) Afterstep (I think, or one of the 'steps') was the best overall for speed and functionality. Afterstep was good. Very good. But then again anything seemed magnificent compare to the likes of twm. That default background was epilepsy inducing. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

I've heard Gnome criticized plenty of times for being bloated and slow (as compared to KDE). I've also heard the inverse. I've used both on the same machine, and they both seem about the same to me. Just my anecdotal evidence. What they criticize is mostly the lack of configurability; KDE has the reputation that you can configure the way every single little pixel on your screen would look like; GNOME has the reputation of being simple, clean, and with a sensible default. True. And they seem to be going their separate ways. Gnome used to be much more configureable if my memory serves me well... I do not think that any KDE fan would dare have the audacity to pick on GNOME using performance (or lack thereof) as their argument --- that would border criminal behaviour!!! :-) You know, those KDE types ;-) Sorry, I have to disagree with this --- last time I logged on to KDE on my notebook (where GNOME works flawlessly smooth), I could see the windows and dialog boxes appear; the fade-in effects would take close to two seconds in completing... Sloppy and bloated like you wouldn't believe it! Yes, you could go on and say: well, you must have done something wrong... My question is: what could I possibly do wrong when the only thing I did was *install* Ubuntu??? I think for the most part their performance isn't much of an issue. It's ironic though because when I first started using KDE Gnome, about 1998, it was Gnome that was quite a bit slower than KDE. Even then I preferred the look and feel of Gnome over KDE, even when it was slower. Although the truth is that I probably mostly used Enlightenment without Gnome or KDE. I think another big turn off for us Linux / FreeBSD users is the fact that KDE is a direct rip off of Windows, and that's not fun, especially when we install Linux to get away from the whole Windows quagmire. I wonder if KDE defenders simply are and have always been running on mega-powerful machines where even Windows Vista would run smoothly... The Gnome project really started because KDE used to include non free software, and Gnome since then has always been seen as the more open source alternative. So given Ubuntu's ethos based in free software it's not really surprising that they (he) chose Gnome. Agreed that this is the most likely reason --- but do notice that also, a big part of Linux's good reputation is the fact that, unlike Windows, it is lean and mean --- meaning you can run it on your old hardware that you were planning on throwing away because it was not enough to run Windows... I think both 'lean and mean' and 'ultra configureable' are both important open source traits. We chose Gnome... -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Re: [ubuntu-art] First idea ...
Why do people even have backgrounds? What is a background? Something you see while you are loading the first program after booting? rant I think logos on backgrounds, even text or symbols is not aesthetically pleasing. A background should be equally attractive in full view or if only a snippet is peaking out through overlapping windows it should also look good through a semi transparent window, it should enhance the transparency look. That's why Mac backgrounds are so great, they carry no message but work aesthetically. The user already knows he's using Ubuntu. /rant On 31/07/2007, at 6:14 PM, Filipe DA COSTA wrote: Hi all!

Nice pic :-) I agree with the comment that the stars are pretty Mandriva-ish - you probably didn't know that when making it though...too bad, really, it looks pretty cool. You definitely would want to use the ubuntu-title font to stay within the branding guidelines. I like the blue to brownish grey background, it seems simple and decent. If you are interested in working on something which could be default for Gutsy stick more to the brown/yellow-orange colors - the older artwork is a good starting point. In addition, using a logo so prominently is probably not the best idea as it draws the eye too much.
