I'm sorry but you don't understand the issue at all. Please take a look at the mockup above. There is NO "Preferences" button. I am (we are) talking ONLY about the "Custom" option in the Visual Effects tab.
We do NOT want simple-ccsm installed by default -- having simple-ccsm installed should ONLY make the "Preferences" button appear. It just doesn't make any sense that the availability of the "Custom" option depends on simple-ccsm, because there is always the possibility to configure Compiz via gconf (or ccsm). To sum it up visually: This is how the Visual Effects tab should be by default (as in after the standard Ubuntu install): http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14389642/appereance-pref-mock.png And like the screenshot attached after installing simple-ccsm. As you can see, the only difference is in the "Preferences" button. P.S. if it is not possible to distinguish the availability like that, it would be better to get rid of the "Preferences" button altogether, because there's always the separate entry in System → Preferences for simple-ccsm. ** Attachment added: "note that this is not a mockup but the current status after installing simple-ccsm" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14394111/appereance-pref-simple-ccsm-installed.png -- [hardy] there's no 'custom' desktop effect profile after installing ccsm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191650 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
