How could anyone defend such an illogical and poor choice? Especially from people who code (who are supposed to be logical). Throughout my life, I've developed a wide variety of applications on many different platforms. So I'm speaking from a lot of experience (though have been out of the coding game for a few years now). I've noticed that when people comment on Ubuntu and point out bugs and/or inconsistencies, frequently (but not always), the reaction is defensive and sometimes hostile rather than what it should be. Too much ego and not enough common sense and humility. That's the kind of thing I'd expect from Microsoft - not "the community" of open software developers/designers in the linux world.
Yes, they're "just icons", and it's not critical. But either icons are useful or they are not. If we agree that they are useful, then they surely belong on such a frequently used menu. To argue otherwise is illogical. Icons are good on EVERY single other menu EXCEPT this one? heheh. C'mon, that makes no sense. Also, people coming from the Windows world are used to seeing icons for shutdown, restart, etc. "We're choosing to use our icons in a much more reserved way". lol. Face it - it was a bad decision and should be changed asap. Linux is about choice. Give users the CHOICE to display them or not. -- Indicator applet has no menu icons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/458929 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
