We're talking about what changes we can make (and I'm sure I've seen a bug for this before) but for now, you can also hover over the widgets and it'll pop up the names. *** Bug 906428 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Looks like you fixed this in F19 - on the F19 boot iso I have, the device name is prominently displayed under each disk. Close nextrelease? |
