Re: [Bug 296608] Re: fonts get funky with subpixel smoothing
ok, i had no idea what hinting was. but now that i do, i still think that SOMETHING should be done. i think that hinting should be set to Full by default when you select subpixel smoothing, like it was in hardy, as it is simply much more aesthetically pleasing. maybe they will redesign the font control panel in the next gnome release. that would be good.

well, actually, if doing something like this in ubuntu will cause complications, then maybe it shouldnt be enabled by default. but someone should certainly try to do something like this and avoid any complications, because this seems like a really nice feature. if someone makes something like this for ubuntu that works just as good as it does on mac, then it should be enabled by default. if it causes trouble upgrading or something, then the upgrade tool should automatically disable and then re-enable it if its enabled. but there probably would not be any complications. this should definately be attempted for jaunty.

Re: [Bug 296608] Re: fonts get funky with subpixel smoothing
first of all, one of the tags are intrepid. i also mention intrepid inside brackets in the report. second of all, this is an odd behavior that was not present in hardy. third of all, even if you set the antialiasing to none, you can still select the hinting level, and it will still get bigger, even though there is no antialiasing. this is definately not normal, no? anyway, these weird problems with the bigger fonts and all of the radio buttons being selected at once was not a problem in hardy. therefore, this is not a feature request, its some kind of weird regression or something. whatever the hell it is, it should be fixed. experiment with the font antialiasing settings yourself, and you'll see the weird things. also, i think that the package is defoma or gnome-appearance-properties, or both maybe.

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet ok, where to begin? 1. users are told that it is a fast user switcher applet. why then is it used primarily for doing power-related things, such as shutting down, suspend, and so on? those are jobs for the power button. it does not make sense to use the fast user switcher as a power manager. use a power button for that, and use the user switcher just for displaying the current user, switching users, displaying current pidgin (and maybe ekiga) status, and changing said status. in fact, the fast user switcher applet has absolutely nothing to do with switching users on a default configuration, as the user switching options are hidden when there is only one user. therefore, by default the fast user switcher applet has nothing to do with what its name suggests by default, and is instead a power manager 2. when you start up pidgin, the power icon disappears, which is also confusing, because you have a green circle in the top right of your screen for no reason 3. the power button icon is too big to fit in the fast user switcher applet and the top row of pixels are shaved off, which looks weird. 4. there is no reason to change it because how it was before looked and worked perfectly, unlike this new configuration. i recommend that the fast user switcher applet be where it always was, and the power button also be where it always was. the fast user switcher applet should be used only for: 1. switching users quickly 2. at-a-glance look at the current user 3. changing pidgin (and possibly ekiga) status 4. at-a-glance look at current status 5. locking screen 6. logging out (maybe) 7. if multiple users, displaying the login screen without first logging out for another user to login and still have your session running. also, clicking on the good old power button will ask you what power- relating thing you want to do. please tell me what you guy think (ps this bug was redone to be better organized and more down to the point. its based off of an older bug, which died.) ** Affects: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- numerous problems with new placement of fast-user-switch-applet in intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279939 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

woah, wait a sec! something else i noticed: the picture of the power button is a little cut off at the top! check it out for yourself. the power button icon is shaved off at the top. you guys are going to fix this, right? also, there is no indication that the fast user switcher is actually used for switching users until you create a new user. by default, the fast user switcher is just a power manager. this does not make sense to me, and it will not make sense to anyone i set in front of an ubuntu 8.10 machine. in fact, i didnt even know that it was possible to switch users using the fast user switcher until i tested it out! also, switching users has nothing to do with your power settings. look, this whole thing just doesnt make sense, and i dont think it will make sense to very many people either, so i propose having a separate power button and a separate new user switcher that integrates with pidgin. which brings to light: as soon as you start up pidgin, the power button disappears immediately. this will also confuse people. yet another inconsistency. its nice that it can integrate with pidgin, so i have a great idea that im sure everyone will like: 1. you can put the user switcher where it used to be, and have a separate power button 2. you should remove the power options from the user switcher menu, and have it do just user-related things. in this place, you will be able to change your user, change your pidgin status, and lock your screen. 3. the separate power button will always be there at the top-right of the screen, and will always have the power icon. clicking it will ask you what power-related thing you want to do, just like in the last release the bottom line: the user switcher was meant for doing user-related things. the power button was meant for doing power-related things. there have been many, many problems that have arised from trying to mix them, including confusion, inconsistency, and aesthetic issues. due to these bugs, problems, and flaws that have arisen, it would be better and easier to have it the way it used to, as i described above (1, 2, 3).

[Bug 277407] [NEW] user account switcher panel item is placed after the time by default
Public bug reported: in intrepid, the user account switcher panel applet is placed after the time. this looks quite ugly compared to how it was previously, plus the change is confusing to people who are used to the (far superior) old layout of the top panel. if this is intentional, there is no need for this change and i strongly dissaprove of it. it also leaves too large of an area with just text and no icons, which also looks awkward. overall, its a major eyesore. it looks so much more natural with the time right next to the power button, and the user switcher to the left of the notification area. also, the reason why i chose ubuntu out of all of the other distros was because it works out of the box, its the most popular, but even more of a reason than those two is because of the arrangement of the panel. ubuntu had the best panel arrangement i had ever seen out of all of the distrobutions, and now your killing it. what is wrong with you guys. this is really pissing me off to be frank. ubuntu has the best default panel arrangement out of all of the distros, and you %#$@ it up. anyway, if this is intentional, put it back the way it was. there is no compelling need to change the default panel arrangement, and it was more than fine before. dont %#$@ with it. if you want, you might just remove the user switcher from the default arrangement all together, but i think it looked fine in gutsy and hardy. whatever, just put the default panel icons back the way they were meant to be in the final intrepid release let me know about this situation, please reply ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: intrepid panel regression -- user account switcher panel item is placed after the time by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277407 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: users should not have to enter arcane commands into the command line and add entries to config files to get ubuntu working on intel macs. ubuntu says that it just works, but this is not the case on a mac. either make ubuntu just work on a mac, or create a special version of ubuntu for the macintel platform (alongside i386 and x64) in other words, what should happen is either: i pop in the ubuntu live cd on a mac and sound, wireless, compositing etc just works or i go to the downloads page and it asks me what kind of computer do you have, and underneath it there should be Intel Mac i386 and Intel Mac 64-bit options added to the list. this would be majorly awesome if you did this by the time intrepid is shipped. after all, less and less people are getting a windows computer nowadays, and more and more people are getting macbooks, imacs, etc. this is something that needs to be done soon, like by the time intrepid gets released. :) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ubuntu on intel macs should just work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/266982 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

i consider this important, medium fits it perfectly, because anyone who boots up ubuntu will notice the ugly stretchyness, and widescreen monitors are the most common kind of monitor nwadays, and it just doesnt make SENSE for usplash to not support them! i think the importance of this bug should be raised back to medium. even though it isnt showstopping, its still a very big issue. like i said before, most screens nowadays are widescreens, and it is a really big issue if usplash doesnt work correctly for most of the users. this bug should be set back to medium because it affects an extremely large amount of people (anyone with a widescreen monitor, or monitor that isnt 4:3) and you WILL notice the problem, because usplash is enabled by default, and so everyone will be able to see the problem the moment they turn their computer on. this problem is BIG. i hope usplash will be able to automatically detect the native resulution of your monitor by the time intrepid gets released. -- ubuntu splash logo stretched on non-4:3/16:9 displays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64147 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: why must we still insist on adopting the color brown? intrepid is supposed to bring radical changes to the ubuntu theme, yet its also brown. its been brown for YEARS! orange and red gradients really look exceptional! besides, the ubuntu logo is orange anyway! when i think of my computer, i want to think of it as something slick and cool, not something BROWN. i mean, come on! what kind of things do you think of when you think of the color brown?! cool things? i am 100 percent serious right here. i think that now is the time to stop insisting on brown. many other people have made fun of ubuntu's brown theme. i have to agree that brown was not the best color to make what is going to be a REVOLUTIONARY, operating system. so, lets please start making it more orange with red highlights and gradients! THAT looks really cool. words cannot even describe how cool that is. you were on the right track with the murrine theme in hardy beta. for intrepid, lets create something new, but lets drop brown and stick with orange (with /some/ red) for the upcoming ubuntu release. once again, i am totally, completely serious about this bug report, and i consider this an IMPORTANT issue. please do something. please stop making it brown. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- brown color for theme is...well, hideous. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263461 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Public bug reported: if you have a monitor that isnt 4:3 resolution, the ubuntu logo will be stretched out and ugly when the computer is booting up. this is, to be frank, kinda pathetic. widescreen monitors are extremely common, and there are even monitors that are perfectly square (1:1) but usplash only supports one aspect ratio, 4:3. all of the monitors on the computers that i use regularly are widescreen. other linux distros such as opensuse come with boot loader splashes that are at the correct aspect ratio to your screen. ubuntu does not, and i dont like the stretched-out look at all. also, this isnt strictly relevant, but i also like the look/design of opensuse's loader much better too. it looks really cool. theres nothing wrong about ubuntu's bootloader, it looks good, its just that other distros have cooler-looking ones (and much less buggy, not to mention.) however, ubuntu is better than other distros in most areas, and in a lot of the most important areas, so i continue to use ubuntu rather than any other distro. the only thing i dont like is the ABUNDANCE OF BUGS!! :( ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- usplash doesnt properly detect widescreen displays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

well, maybe in the next release, ubuntu will have most of its bugs corrected so that it is actually not annoying ubuntu reminds me of battlefield 2. that was the best game ever, in my opinion (except that it was published by EA, and EA games sux). however, when it came out, it was filled with an atrocious amount of bugs. it was awesome, but it was extremely buggy. However, today, its stable, and ive never run into a bug. so, its the best game ever, awesome. ubuntu is like battlefield 2 because it has a ton of bugs, but without these bugs its the best operating system ever. hopefully, in the very near future, most of its bugs will be gone and it will be difficult to find any, and it will reach perfection, kinda like how battlefield 2 got rid of its bugs and became the funnest game ever. 2 bad its almost unplayable in wine (ive really got to get out of the habit of going overboard like this with my two-cents, i apologize.) -- usplash doesnt properly detect widescreen displays https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258999 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
