gnome-tweak-tool should *not* be an exposed user interface, not without drastic rewriting. It's an OK advanced user tool, but it's a horrible UI. How do you write coherent documentation as to whether a window titlebar doubleclick should shade, close, minimize, screenshot, or crash the app? How do you coherently explain to users what 'Rgba' is (or even the difference between Hinting and Antialiasing) After all, if it was meant to be a generally changeable option for the end user, it would *already be in the base UI*. With respect to alacarte, it obviously doesn't serve a purpose in the default shell configuration; it may be useful for fallback mode. gnome-tweak-tool couldn't be an advanced tab in some window of the gnome configuration? An advanced tab gives the user a warning that it isn't supposed to change something without knowing what they do. What is the default menu editing instead alacarte? (In reply to comment #3) > gnome-tweak-tool couldn't be an advanced tab in some window of the gnome > configuration? That would be an issue to discuss upstream in GNOME; it's not the sort of option we'd add in Fedora. > What is the default menu editing instead alacarte? The default shell doesn't use menus; it uses search & categories. As I understand it, alacarte should be able to edit the menus for fallback mode, but there's a bug in it at the moment. Yeah.. this is lacking since gnome 2. Fedora dont have a voice on gnome decisions? Or I need to ask it directly on GNOME? Changing what options are available for configuration in control-center is best handled in upstream GNOME. Moving this to alacarte as a bug against it not properly editing the fallback mode menus. I agree with you This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
