Talking about (Ubuntu) GNOME, however: I use that on my day-to-day work laptop so I spend loads of time also during office hours in front of it while at the same time I then and now have to do presentations or have people sitting in front of my screen. For those scenarios I am looking for a simple, straight, "elegant" theme, flat controls, decent color scheme, not too many bright elements. So far I use either Numix Frost or Arc-Dark which seem closest to that. Default GNOME theme unfortunately is not a fun to use because of the window title bar and the top level bar which both are way too large for a small screen and, talking about the window title bar, pretty ugly at least by my tastes which doesn't count much. Would be nice, for these purposes, to have a theme such as Numix, Arc or the Elementary-OS theme bundled with Ubuntu GNOME out of the box...

hotkey for window arrangement / tiling?
Folks; is there some way in recent (Ubuntu) GNOME to automatically "arrange" all windows on a current workspace so that they don't overlap? I very often do have the situation of, say, having two LibreOffice windows open which I need to have side-by-side to work with the content or compare things. For that situation, I'd like to have a hotkey to simply do right this rather than just manually bringing the windows into right place and size... Ideas, anyone? Is this possible to set up? Any extensions for that? TIA, Kristian -- Ubuntu-GNOME mailing list Ubuntu-GNOME@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-gnome
Laptop backlight keys broken in 16.10?
Folks; running UbuntuGNOME 16.10 on a HP EliteBook, I can't use the device Fn hotkeys for setting display brightness anymore. It "seems" I just can toggle between two different states of brightness (one being "dark", one being below 25%) without actually changing display brightness. Played with various grub settings involving ACPI backlight, neither of these approaches seemed to work. Ideas, anyone?

Super for displaying Activity overview stopped working?
Folks, so far, I was pretty much used to having Super_L key (left Windows key) on my keyboard set to display the Activities overview in GNOME, which has been just like that for as long as I can remember. Today, however, after reinstalling my system, cleaning up $HOME and having the system crash once, this is not working anymore, Super_L in itself does nothing. Worse, I can't even assign this keybinding anymore as the default GNOME keyboard setup obviously only accepts two-key shortcuts at least all along with Super_L? This is fairly strange. Worst: I can't even reproduce the default behaviour on a newly created account on my system anymore. So to ask: Have keybindings somehow changed with 16.04? Is there any way to restore the desired behaviour? By now I have set Super_L + Space to toggle Activities view, however this is a change I really need to get used to as I used it excessively...

Re: Moment of Truth
Hi there; and first off, thanks for the message and for doing a great job on Ubuntu GNOME so far. IMHO this is right now the best way of having a modestly up-to-date GNOME on top of a *deb based package management, and that's quite a good thing... > That said, I am giving this community a chance until releasing 16.04 > in April to prove it's a real community.

evolution: line wrap issues while replying inline?
Folks; not sure whether this is the right place to ask, but: I recently switched from Thunderbird to Evolution after Thunderbird has more and more become heavy and bloated on my system and Evolution does integrate with GNOME way better. However, there are some minor annoyances with this tool, and the most important one: I usually do respond to e-mails in the usual mailing list fashion - keep important parts of the messages as quote and write my response to that below. I also do have my Evolution set to send text messages and to wrap at 71 characters. Linewrap at 71 characters usually works well (when writing "new" messages) but it seems to cease working whenever I write text after some lines of quoted text. Is this know or just me? Anything to be done about that? Does Evolution provide something such as the "rewrap" option in Thunderbird that, well, automatically (and correctly) wraps all lines?

Problem in my case is that, with the dist-upgrade running in a terminal in the GNOME session, I was unable to see how far the process actually is. Rebooting, consequently, left me with a black screen, and it took me a while to reboot, find a virtual terminal to log in and manually run dpkg --pending --configure to make sure _all_ the downloaded yet unconfigured packages were completely installed to make the system correctly start up again. Maybe the upgrade procedure should in some way take care of this case, even though I have no real idea how... - disable screen lock during upgrade altogether?

beta1: locked out during dist-upgrade?
Folks; just dist-upgraded one of my 15.10 machines to current 16.04 repos. Overally, things work pretty smooth but things got a bit messy during upgrade: I left my computer unattended for a while. When I got back, the GNOME screen was locked. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to unlock again, being presented with an unlock screen and a yellow "login failed" message. The unlock screen, then, would reload all 2..3 seconds, not even leaving enough time to enter my actual password. Is this a known issue? Or is this just me?

titlebars broken in 14.10 / ppa?
Folks; carefully asking: Is there anything known about broken window title bars in recent UbuntuGNOME releases. I am not exclusively on 14.10 but also have the gnome3 staging ppa in my package list (so it might be entirely my fault), just wanted to check whether I am the only one seeing this... See here: http://zimmer428.net/zeugs/broken-headers.png This only happens with titlebars of inactive windows.
