[Ayatana] complaints
Firefox goes the add-on way while Ubuntu goes the built-in way. Firefox: - you show Mozilla an add-on - Mozilla can install it - users can uninstall it - if Mozilla decides the add-on is good, the add-ons appears in AMO Ubuntu: - you show Canonical a socially-demanding writing of a new feature - Canonical can't even compile it - the feature will be forced to all - if Canonical decides the new feature is good, you write code - you show Canonical a intelligently-demanding writing of new code - Canonical can slowly compile it - the feature will be forced to all - if Canonical decides the new code is good, Ubuntu has a new feature Please, go the add-on way. Mozilla lets programmers change anything in the Firefox interface while Canonical doesn't let programmers change anything in the Ubuntu interface. Firefox: I go to addons.mozilla.org, see thousands of addons listed, so I can install, disable, enable and uninstall any of them. Ubuntu: I go to Ubuntu Software Center, click the Unity category, see many apps listed, so I can install and uninstall any of them. One of these apps makes the launcher be horizontal like Windows. Another locks a page from Firefox to Launcher with a zoomed favicon as icon and title as tooltip. Another limits the global menu to maximized windows. Another toggles a horizontal menu bar appear with and under - . Another sizes the icons in Desktop Area and the apps in Launcher the same. Another shows icons and labels in Desktop Area like a compact list in Nautilus. Another always shows the Launcher like Windows. Another shows Unity windows like rectangles. Please, go the interface change way. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Chrome has pretty close to the same market share as Firefox now so they must be doing something right.

Re: [Ayatana] complaints
Ubuntu supports add-ons and also more options will be implemented in Precise. Just currently everybody is waiting for developers who write some addons. Case Example: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-ubuntu-unity-bottom-launcher.html Also there are lenses and scopes ;) Am 31.01.2012 16:32, schrieb Pedro Bessa: Ubuntu: - you show Canonical a socially-demanding writing of a new feature - Canonical can't even compile it - the feature will be forced to all - if Canonical decides the new feature is good, you write code - you show Canonical a intelligently-demanding writing of new code - Canonical can slowly compile it - the feature will be forced to all - if Canonical decides the new code is good, Ubuntu has a new feature Please, go the add-on way.

Unity does not have a sidebar. I think Joy used the term "sidebar" for the launcher. I ask why not provide with with bars on all sides with a self hiding feature it would be great. What for? Hmm, why would anyone want to hide the unity-panel and use the ability to always look at the indicators (what time is it, do I have email etc...)? And how would multiple panels / launchers be helpful? I can't see a point of multiple panels, multiple launchers is much more interesting, but having a lot of launchers can create clutters and will increase the mouse movement. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

The difference is that it was distributed as a compiled .so file (which replaced the original libunityshell.so). ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
