** Changed in: ubuntuone-control-panel (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => New
** Description changed:
The current Ubuntu One control panel that is shipped by default in
Ubuntu is a GTK+ UI which the Ubuntu One team is no longer supporting.
Some of the problems with that UI are:
* uses the deprecated pygtk bindings
* offers to install desktopcouch which no longer is supported
* is not aligned with the Ubuntu One new branding guidelines, and it does not
show the information in a consistent way with the rest of the platforms we
support
The Ubuntu One team has decided to build a new control panel using the
Qt toolkit, which solves all the above, giving us the following
advantages:
* does not use any deprecated library
* is currently supported and will keep being supported for the whole LTS cycle
- * present a uniform graphical interface across all the platforms that Ubutu
One supports (and this is very important from a branding point of view)
+ * present a uniform graphical interface across all the platforms that Ubuntu
One supports (and this is very important from a branding point of view)
* has all the messages and string revised by our Marketing department
* has a design that has been developed taking into consideration usability,
translations, usefulness
The Qt control panel requires python-qt4, so this bug represent the need
to have that dependency in the CD so the Ubuntu One team can keep
shipping the Qt control panel in the CD as well.
