[Bug 834207] Re: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken
@vanvugt; ahh, I don't think you are talking about the blur, you are referring to the reflections cast by the icons that is bouncing off the back of the Dash 'glass' material. These reflections are there to give the glass a sense of depth and make it feel more 'material' like. This effect is now a bit more polished than it was in the past, before it was too OTT. Closing bug because this was a specific feature requested by visual design. The visual look of Ubuntu will always continue to evolve, and the person who is responsible for signing off any changes to the visual design is Otto (Chaotic on IRC), so I suggest pinging him to discuss. ** Changed in: ayatana-design Status: Fix Released = Invalid ** Changed in: unity Status: Triaged = Invalid ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834207 Title: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/834207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 834207] Re: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken
OK, well, design might be happy but I'm not. Blur effects should only blur what is _behind_ the blur. In this bug, we see the blur operating just slightly on the icons that are meant to be in front of the blur. That's definitely a bug.

I believe it's probably caused by the way that Unity does blurring.

[Bug 834207] Re: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken
Daniel, it was originally a design decision to have a frosted glass effect. On closer looking, I do see the frosted glass still on about the 4th or 5th row (at the bottom of my screen) on Intel graphics, so I agree this isn't quite fixed yet. Since I can't find this fix mentioned in the Ubuntu changelog, maybe it's actually a bug that the frosted effect isn't working as it was. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834207 Title: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/834207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

** Description changed: Here's a screenshot of the Dash at full screen. In the first column (Bluetooth through Mahjongg), the icons look quite fuzzy. I understand that this effect is by design and is supposed to evoke a frosted glass metaphor. Personally, I thought that the Dash's blur effect was broken and that was unintentional, buggy ghosting, perhaps related to a graphics driver bug. I believe users will have the same worried reaction. I think the Dash's background blur is a generally good idea (the specific color and blur intensity may need tweaking) and a glass or frosted glass look makes sense from a Light theme but the individual dash icons must be clear and legible. The lens icons don't have an off-center fuzzy echo, nor do the search box, or the indicator status menus or the launcher items...because it would look equally out of place. + https://launchpadlibrarian.net/78103067/Screenshot%2520at%25202011-08-26%252003%253A20%253A08.png + + ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: unity 4.10.0-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-9.12-generic 3.0.3 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-9-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: [core,bailer,detection,composite,opengl,decor,mousepoll,vpswitch,regex,animation,snap,expo,move,compiztoolbox,place,grid,imgpng,gnomecompat,wall,ezoom,workarounds,resize,fade,unitymtgrabhandles,scale,session,unityshell] Date: Thu Aug 25 18:34:43 2011 ProcEnviron: - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: unity UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834207 Title: Frosted glass ghosting effect makes Dash icons look fuzzy, broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/834207/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
