Re: [Ayatana] Indicator menu

This is one of the things I persoanlly hate on Gnome 3. At least the default theme and spacing of everything makes it look a little bit childish. Don't bash on me: I'm actually kind of hooked into the way it handles workspaces and windows; I can't help but joyfully play with it when I'm using my g

Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

IMHO, what we have _is_ visually consistent. Indicators should be opaque over the panel, just like the icons on the unity launcher are opaque over the transparent launcher. I mean, I'm not saying this couldn't be an option; I'm all in for customisation. I just don't think it should be priority...

Is this "ubuntu has bad fonts" really "a thing"? I mean, the Joe user can't barely tell Times New Roman from Arial oO I just found this curious, but I agree with everything, and we should focus on polishing fonts and everything --- it's an aspect that makes the system look slick and all. I just fo

Supernova, "the horizontal bar is completely out of the future of Desktops...leave it to Gnome3...in Ubuntu is obsolete, something for pc's and not for tablet or phones..." Ok, I didn't get the idea of pcs != desktops, but pcs = tablets and phones, but taking the spirit of the last sentence, why

Recently I've posted this bug at Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/686822 So the thing is, if you have only one instance of an active window and you click its icon in the Launcher, the effect is useless. Users coming from Windows 7 (or any other version of it for tha
