[Bug 834386] Re: Mirror greeter in RTL locales
While I totally understand the need to localise the Greeter and appreciate the work that's going towards it – I'm afraid in this particular case I have to disagree (this is after consulting another Hebrew speaker in the design team). One of the main design memes of the Unity Greeter is that it closely aligns with the desktop. Mirroring the top bar, even in RTL, undermines that meme. The indicators should stay where they are on the desktop. What we get now is a rogue screen that has its own logic. As soon as Unity/Ubuntu gets full RTL support, the indicators should move too – not before. The right-aligned userlist I think is the best solution there. Definitely no left-right jumps. RTL can take the lead there and Latin names follow (path of the least weirdness). However, like I said the carousel should stay on the left. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834386 Title: Mirror greeter in RTL locales To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 834386] Re: Mirror greeter in RTL locales
Mika, you say that you want the indicators to move to the left only once Unity has full RTL support, but as I've said last month, the indicators are already to the left in the current released version of the greeter. Unity greeter uses a Gtk menu bar for the panel, and Gtk has automatic mirroring. It is the current state is incompatible. If the alignment with the desktop meme is that important, I suggest disabling the current mirroring of the panel in the greeter, and leaving everything else the way it is. Note that the mirroring code for unity-2d has already been released (see bug #654988), although they said that the code will remain disabled until Oneiric is released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834386 Title: Mirror greeter in RTL locales To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 834386] Re: Mirror greeter in RTL locales
Would you like to disable automatic direction completely, or just force the alignment? Forcing the direction could cause some weird results with LTR user names in an RTL greeter and vice versa. For instance, suppose there is a user name with parenthesis, like Bob (jr.). In RTL directionality it would render as Bob (jr.) We can force only the alignment, and keep the directionality detection, but personally I think it looks a little wrong, when the user names aren't aligned according to their writing direction. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834386 Title: Mirror greeter in RTL locales To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I've modified the screenshot to show what I mean. To me having the English text right aligned looks fine. I'm not enough of a typography expert to say, but I think we want automatically detected directionality with alignment based on the system locale.

Right, so I think you should align all the text to the right when in this mode (i.e. the Bob User, Carol User strings). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834386 Title: Mirror greeter in RTL locales To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, I'm attaching a screenshot of how my current code looks with a Hebrew locale. I actually wanted to upload to the merge proposal discussion, but I don't see a way to attach files there. ** Attachment added: greeter-rtl.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+attachment/2447007/+files/greeter-rtl.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/834386 Title: Mirror greeter in RTL locales To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-greeter/+bug/834386/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'd love this to be in 11.10 if we can get it all working but it's probably going to require a user interface freeze exception.
