Comment: Hello, The purpose of the logout applet is to expose this action to the user. This is why using a tiny expressive button at the top right corner is very a good idea. The problem with the system menu is not that it is a menu but that it is not expressive enough. I sugget to deplace the three entry "Lock screen", "Log out" and "Shutdown" into a tiny popup menu available by clicking the logout applet. This way, user have one way to log off and you can use one true look'n'feel for those dialog. Note also that two pilosophy of popup dialog coexist : the pure Mac OS X one (system menu) and the pure Windows XP-like with the logout applet. We should use the Gnomish one popup with few options, icons+text button (horizontal aligned) and a simple question (without a damned stressing count down). About the nature of the icon. I don't think we should use abstract art. Why not use a more concret representation of sleep (a moon quarter) and hibernate (a bear hibernating) ? All of i said are advises, not wishes. Feel free to pick idea and improve :) (I mentioned part of this idea at https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/28939 ) Thanks. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
