Mirco, I think the bubble itself appearing immediately should make it
obvious enough that the system is responsive. If it turns out not to be,
then we can consider animating the transition from old to new value,
instead of just flipping them after half a second.
** Changed in: notify-osd
Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) => (unassigned)
** Summary changed:
- I can't barely see the old value when changing the volume
+ Brightness/volume bubbles don't show old value before new value
** Description changed:
- The specification says "To make clearer which key was pressed, if the
- bubble was not already open, the gauge should show the old value for
- half a second before switching to the new value."
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Volume%20changes> and
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#Brightness%20and%20backlight%20changes>
+ both say: "To make clearer which key was pressed, if the bubble was not
+ already open, the gauge should show the old value for half a second
+ before switching to the new value."
I don't know if the old value is currently being showed for half a
second or not. It's just that it does not last enough for me to notice
it (maybe the time is counted from the moment the bubble starts to fade
in or maybe I'm too slow for a 0.5" change). If I'm on the alert for it
I can see it changing, but most of the time I find myself pressing the
key twice just to ensure it's changing.
I know it's very difficult to balance this feature with the perceived
responsiveness of the system so I don't expect this to be changed, but I
just want to let you know about it.
