Another use-case where tooltips made the difference is the messaging menu. I had evolution open on the background, when suddenly the icon of the messaging menu turns green. But what does this green color mean?
I can only assume it is because i recieved a new mail message, because the count behind my inbox is not 0, but I don't know for sure, as there was no context-sensitive explanation (read: tooltip, or smilar.) however, looking from the other side of the coin (a.k.a. devils advocate) Removing the tooltips and making all information previously found under the tooltip, accesable after opening a menu, enables Ubuntu to be used on touch-only devices (think iPad etc.) Concluding: While ensuring all information enclosed in tooltips is also availble to non-tooltip-capable devices is a very good goal, and should be persued, we should not deprive tooltip-capable devices from the enhanced experience tooltips can offer. -- please include status messages/tooltips https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/527458 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
