tune a very deep and minor system setting, but font size is not such a

Exactly. It's not about what size is right. It's about being able to
customize it to your own liking.

Completely agreed with you there. Asking for that certain
gnome-tweak-tool by default does not make sense. Ubuntu must develop its
own system customization tool and ship it by default.

I agree. Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring a small overlay window with several
items in it, and the user should be able to move the focus in there with
cursor keys. I believe that would be the best implementation. Then, all
you'd have to do is press Ctrl+Alt+Del, press left or right or up or

It may sound off-topic, but it's related I think: Up until Beta 2 was
released, I had this bug (I don't know if it's fixed, as I had to do

I think this was the best suggestion on this so far. It would add a
missing feature to Unity and bring more unity to Ubuntu desktop.

I think we need a theme configuration tool to mix and match themes.
Currently, we only have a theme selector. I'm baffled with the fact that
GNOME dev's have no plans for any kind of theme selection/configuration

The current design is justified by the motivation to move the window
control buttons to the top left.
Apparently, the usability tests for 11.04 design showed that the
window controls are better on the top left, so they moved the Ubuntu
button out of that location.

I don't think the orientation of English language is a valid reason to

Hi Stefanos,
I know the orientation of icons seem off at first sight but if you
think about it in action, you would wanna see the icons close to your

Otherwise it would be too much mouse motion and it would not fully
serve the purpose

I totally agree that the Launcher edge alignment should be user
configurable but with the Ubuntu icon (and Dash) on the top left, I
don't see how it can be possible.
