Hi, We removed tooltips from gnome-panel and indicators because it did not add much value[1] and instead we choose to use icons that could quickly convey the same meaning.
In Unity the Launcher has tooltips for the application icons and for places. While the tooltips from the indicators used to have more detailed status messages, I'm not sure Unity's tooltips are of much value. All they do is just mention the name of the application. Is there a reason Unity's Launcher has tooltips for applications and places? [While Application icons could be considered as unrecognizable, Places icons are our custom icons so they should atleast be a bit recognizable.Still not sure how these tooltips are more important...] [1] <https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-application/+bug/527458> -- Cheers, Vish _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
