[Bug 1022802] Re: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons
I'm closing this bug since Ubuntu's xterm got new icons since this bug was filed. ** Changed in: xterm (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Since Ubuntu doesn't get updates that often, it'll probably be next year before they catch up.

Patch #282 provides a new icon, which scales better for the window-decoration, etc. Either icon is configurable at package build-time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1022802] Re: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons
no problem. I assume that people commenting in bug-reports are aware of where the upstream source is for a package. Offhand, I don't (as I do for Debian) know the URL for Ubuntu package pages; this URL indicates that Ubuntu is a little behind #281: http://oswatershed.org/pkg/xterm One of the criticisms of the bitmap icons was that they're not scalable and don't honor transparent background (though the latter is unevenly implemented in different desktops). I supplied new icons in #281 (which will still get complaints from art critics), which resolve the technical issues. I have some additional work in mind for #282. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1022802] Re: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons
Well, that's unlikely to be a realistic goal. But at least respect the Unity interface. If XTerm shall remain installed by default, then making the icon match the current default set should be of paramount importance for visual consistency. Considering that this has been a papercut for so many for so long, albeit a minor one, I can't understand how interface standards can be raised unless Canonical and the greater Ubuntu community enforce design policies, and the first step is taking such complaints seriously. Yet, every one of the bug reports submitted in regard to the confusing inclusion of XTerm is either rudely shot down or ignored. Quite frankly, XTerm and its extremely bad looking icon in Dash (popping up every time you call up Gnome Terminal) both scares and confuses the target Ubuntu audience, which will never ever use it. It is, therefore, most obviously a legitimate concern! Now, you say there are new icons available somewhere for XTerm patch #281. (By the way, the previous sentence means almost nothing to the target ubuntu audience.) But if ordinary users can't find or expect to get useful information in these bug reports about when or if such an improvement will become default in 12.10, or whether its available as as upgrade for 12.04, how can we possibly expect target audience Ubuntu users to take the time to file beneficial bug reports in the first place? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1022802] Re: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons
What the heck is wrong with you, Dickey? You've been stonewalling this issue since the first bug report from 2007! One of the goals of the new post-Lucid Ubuntu is a highly competitive visual experience. Including XTerm and UXTerm by default is fine, but flaunting hideous icons on a new Unity Dash and Launcher system that exists to show off hi-res icons, is absurd and contradicts the entire revised mission of Ubuntu to surpass Mac OS in terms of UI quality. NO, it is not a subjective "opinion" that the XTerm and UXTerm icons look terrible, and it is emphatically NOT an unrealistic goal to do something about it. In fact, it is absolutely necessary to remove jarring graphical inconsistencies in Unity. Personally, I am puzzled as to why XTerm and UXTerm are even shown by default. Certainly, they do not qualify as commonly used applications for the Ubuntu target audience. I demand that you respect the people who have brought up this issue for years. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1022802] Re: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons
"Better styled" is vague (and considering some of the icons in Unity) is unlikely to be a realistic goal. xterm #281 has svg- and png-icons for the use of people with legitimate technical concerns. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
