Dear Ubuntu users and developers, as you know the quit applet was changed in Intrepid. I believe there is sufficient potential to improve it further on. For this reason the QuitAppletPlus project [1] was started and it's ready for your feedback now! :)
It's not a replacement for the current Intrepid fast-switch-user applet, the ideas from both should be merged. Highlights: - quit actions are easy available, without overloading the view - more intuitive action names and icons for inexperienced users - configurable quit applet menu design/behavior - protection against accidentally choosing wrong actions without "Are you sure?"-confirmations - extended quit options, hidden by default - alternative approach to protect other logged-in users if you perform shut down or restart - graphical countdown by automatic quit - and finally you can power off the computer only with one mouse click! See the project wiki [2] for more details, screenshots and installation guides. Just test it and say what you think about it [3][4]. It's _only_ a graphical prototype so you can test it without any fear :) Kind Regards, Roman Friesen (krokosjablik) Links: * [1] Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/quit-applet-plus * [2] Wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QuitAppletPlus * [3] Forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1023652 * [4] Brainstorm idea: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/16865/ -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
