Public bug reported: Binary package hint: indicator-appmenu
AIUI the HIG says we shouldn't show the app's name in the titlebar. "The most important element of a document-based application's window title is the name of the open document." ( see: http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/windows-primary.html.en#primary-window-titles ) I tried this in evince / Natty alpha. Appmenu (File, Edit, View etc.. ) was only visible on mouse-over, which is good imo. The text displayed in its stead was "document viewer", the descriptive name of the Application. This is foobar, since it doesn't give the user information about *what* document is being presented. After a mouse over to the appmenu area, the application name disappeared, and the document title was displayed instead, which makes sense. i am guessing this happens only when a document is first opened. After the first mouseover to the AppMenu area, the document title is shown instead. AIUI the app name should *never* show up in the AppMenu area, since we want the system to be invisible and to "just work". An app name in this respect would be a part of the "system", but the document title or name would be information relevant to the user. ** Affects: indicator-appmenu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/708545 Title: application name shown in appmenu instead of document title -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
