Because that application was written for the platform that Ubuntu is now using (Gnome), and the other one wasn't.
Open-source developers' time is in short supply. It doesn't make sense to spend time porting non-native applications when native applications already exist that can do the job. It's tricky for users (us) to switch applications whenever the platform changes, but that's the price you pay for not building a GNU/Linux system yourself. Feel free to build and use one that never changes subsystems. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1714804 Title: Aardvark Daily: Indicator-Multiload doesn't show full-width To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-multiload/+bug/1714804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
