Just think of these sounds: "You've got mail!" "Your CD finished burning!" "Warning! Your battery is running low!" "You just clicked a button" [1] I think it would be immensly useful to have speech sounds for some notification-related sounds. Heck, I even thought of doing a very special sound theme, particularly for you called "Lennart" where I record each and every single sound of the 125 defined in my voice. And I'll add a very special gimmick for you: each time when you click your mouse button you'll hear me saying "Mouse click!". And if you press them twice I will say "Double Click!". And if you press them thrice I will say "Mumumumumulticlick!" And then -- I guess you are already expecting it -- after the fourth time I will say "Rrrrampage!". And if then still you don't get what sound themes are all about, I can't help you anymore, but at least I can say I really really and honestly tried. Lennart [1] In case you didn't get it: this isn't meant seriously. -- Lennart Poettering Red Hat, Inc. lennart [at] poettering [dot] net ICQ# 11060553 http://0pointer.net/lennart/ GnuPG 0x1A015CC4 _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
