Changing the design of all the rest of System Settings is not really practical or desirable. Instant-apply makes the effect of many settings much easier to see, and avoids the error of forgetting to apply settings. Occasionally explicit-apply is necessary, for a setting where changing it unavoidably takes you through undesirable intermediate states. One example of this is screen resolution. Time and date, arguably, is another.
So, I've updated the specification to make manual time and date setting explicit-apply, with both "Revert" and "Apply" buttons. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeAndDate?action=diff&rev2=62&rev1=61> ** Changed in: indicator-datetime Status: In Progress => Triaged ** Changed in: indicator-datetime Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned) ** Changed in: indicator-datetime Importance: High => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1102890 Title: Add OK button and Cancel button in indicator-datetime setting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-datetime/+bug/1102890/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
