That's because the bugs requesting border less themes were marked fixed, and not updated when the change was reverted. The wishlist one is marked fixed because it is "fixed for the time being" in light themes, and a long term solution is what I'm starting this thread for. Sorry for any typing erro

I'm for Zeitgeist if it is not a default setting, one that can be turned on by the user if preferred. But loading all apps on the launcher, how about apps with viruses that users have installed from non-official repositories? If the user knows that the app has a virus and is in the launcher (may

That way the perception of speed would only happen after enough usage has happened to work out the most used apps, I think for now apps in the launcher would be sufficient that way the first apps users are likely to try after installing Ubuntu would be the fastest. On Sun, May 27, 2012 at 2:25 PM,
