Re: Intuitive "Popup" Scrollbars

I gave this a try, and I love it. The normal functionality of clicking on the scrolling thing and moving it is preserved, along with using the scrollwheel in the scrollbar, so no usability is lost. I see this as a really big hit with touchscreen devices also. Being able to place the finger anywher

USB drives and unmounting

Hi, I wondering if any of the technical-minded people could please take a look at this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=655136 Which is discussing the difficulties posed when unmounting removable media. The problem at hand is that the "writing data" to device popups seem to appea

Re: A Look at the Ubuntu Installer

That's a very nice pdf. One minor thing: User Switching The User Switcher applet shouldn't appear with only one user. I think it should, to let the use familiarize themselves. It'll be a bit disorienting (like where did that come from?) if the applet suddenly appeared after the installation. On

Re: Transmission as default bittorrent client

Deluge is more popular, checking with the sample given from popcon.ubuntu.com. If I remember right, Transmission was chosen over Deluge because the devs thought both had similar features, but Deluge had an option to password-protect the tray in some tab under preferences, which someone didn't like

Re: Miro (Re: New Programs for Hardy?)

Miro is a great program, but it was *barely* working on my 1.5Ghz, 512ram laptop. Pretty much unusable. So, it wouldn't really fit the min ubuntu requirements and make some people unhappy. Not necessary... On Feb 9, 2008 10:29 AM, Vincenzo Ciancia <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 09/02/2008 Conrad
