I'm actually clueless at this point, but won't the change to Wayland have a huge effect on this?
I'm just thinking we're being too quick in some of our criticism :^) Always being on the cutting edge means challenges will arise but it also means some patience is required. --- On Mon, 12/13/10, Mark Curtis <merkin...@hotmail.com> wrote: From: Mark Curtis <merkin...@hotmail.com> Subject: [Ayatana] Graceful degradation of Unity To: "Ayatana Mailing List" <ayatana@lists.launchpad.net> Date: Monday, December 13, 2010, 10:35 AM Unity requires 3d compositing. For those without adequate hardware, it falls back to the GNOME Panels. While I understand for this cycle effort should be put into getting Unity functioning, I think for the future a better fallback should be created. For one the GNOME Panels won't be supported forever so it's not a viable alternative in the long run. Two, the UI change from Unity/Panels is drastic. Look at Windows 7, if the user can't enable the compositing, the UI is still similar, it doesn't reset to an XP style of UI. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
