Re: missing Trash shortcut into shortcuts menu of the top panel
This dockbarx is more difficult to use for senior people. I would like a Trash shortcut into the shortcuts menu in order to keep the design clear und easily understandable.

Please give the user the choice of his/her desktop customization. Regards. Since I seem to be one of those senior people, I though I might chime in here. The more movement of the panels, redesign of existing items, changing of icons, etc, the harder it is for us. I do use two panels, because it nicely separates things and it is something I am used to having. Removing text, moving icons, other such things simply causes more confusion. If you want to help senior people, quit suggesting all these changes which leads to more confusion. I do not learn as easily as I once did. Every new word, every new icon, every move from the learned already, adds to my difficulty in using a computer. My eyes no longer see good. That means I use text to read the items. Icons change, text should be the same word every time. I can usually count on the text meaning what it did from one version to another, one theme to another. Every icon change means I don't know what the item is again. You ask the developers to give the user the choice of his/her desktop customization. You have that choice, as demonstrated by your own design of your suggested changes. Make those changes for yourself.

Re: missing Trash shortcut into shortcuts menu of the top panel
Too bad 12 inch laptop is too difficult to use for senior people. Whether you are old or young if you cannot adapt and willing to learn new stuff you might find the current setting unsuitable. The desktop version of Ubuntu is optimized for bigger screens. Alternative is for you to customize everything or use other windows manager. For a 12 inch laptop I suggest a tiling windows manager like Xmonad. On 4 April 2010 22:28, Jérôme Bouat jerome.bo...@wanadoo.fr wrote: Well the easiest way I guess is to buy a bigger monitor.
