Re: ideas about the notification bar

The chat events not marking as read is a bug that we couldn't fix in time for 3.0. Basically, we were sneaking behind Empathy's back, doing things we weren't supposed to, like sending replies. Cassidy is working on fixing all of this here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643594

seems like a very nice idea! i'd welcome a weather applet integrated with the clock. in fact, it could be part of the base system too. also (and this might just be me) right now when i open down the clock applet, half of dropdown bubble is empty, since i don't keep my events and calendar in

ideas about the notification bar

2011-05-22 Thread Koppányi Tamás
Hi! As a whole, the gnome-shell is imho the best desktop environment out there, but i'm still having some issues with notifications. Getting right down to the point: - when there is a new incoming message, new event, and i get the pop-up notification in the bottom of the screen, it's a bit

2011-05-16 Thread Koppányi Tamás
i am guessing these basic hotkeys are hardcoded in the interface, like Alt+' also, which in my case is Alt+0, since i am using a hungarian keyboard, but it works nevertheless, unlike these Ctrl+Y and other keybindings of brosers for example. please keep in mind that laptops don't have right super

screen backlight setting

2011-05-06 Thread Koppányi Tamás
hi! there seems to be a persistent problem with screen backlight setting under gnome3. even if the correct backlight leves are set in power management, the shell ignores these, and alwyas sets the backlight to maximum when on AC power, and minimum when on battery. is there any workaround for

this is a neat idea, but as before, i strongly suggest to move the whole notification bar orientation to the left side of the screen, so that iw ouldn't conflict with the scrollbars of fullscreen windows. the button to scroll down is hard to hit already since it's so close to the hot-corner, not

wifi and bluetooth icons on the panel

2011-05-05 Thread Koppányi Tamás
Hi! I noticed that when installing gnome-shell from the Ubuntu ppa, there is no icon on the top panel for wifi and bluetooth, as there are in other editions (both openSuSe and Fedore, as i remember). I thought it was a Ubuntu specific issue, but i noticed that on screenshots made under Debian

i am also really hoping that developers wouldfix this. also it would be great if there was better integration for empathy. right now the notification bar icon of empathy is barely cliackable (only the icon, not the text), and while the chat windows stay on the notification bar, but they have no

Hi! I just installed gnome3 with the gnome-shell form the ppa available for natty narwhal, but there are some minor issues with it. - First of all, the system doesn't remember screen brightness setting. Even though i set it up in the gui, and it seems to save it, but every time i login, the

Yes, but the question remains: How is a headless application represented in GNOME Shell? How does the user send an application to the background, given that the minimize button is gone? Is it really a good idea to go for the inconsistency and just not exit these applications on window close,

yes, that's also perfectly fine. now if only installing extensions was a bit more simple. if this happened, i'd surely swtch to gnome-shell on my main system. Le lundi 25 avril 2011 à 09:12 -0400, G. Michael Carter a écrit : I still like the idea of a halo like how Docky does it when
