Re: Making release notes more useful - 'whats new ?'
Hi Matthias, I believe the effort should be focused around the website. I prefer learning about what's new before I download, or while I download. I am not a fan of putting a Windows 95-like nag screen preventing me from actually using the system. There are of course less intrusive ways to point to this information, such as a notification with a link to the website on first boot. But keep in mind that it's something not everybody is interested in and can get annoying if we're not careful. cheers On Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 4:29 PM, Matthias Clasen matthias.cla...@gmail.comwrote: Hey, so I have been thinking a bit about our documentation efforts and how to make the most out of the awesome work that is done in this area, as well as the release notes. Floating these ideas to the relevant lists before writing it down as a feature proposal seems like a good idea, so you can shoot it down early if it doesn't sound good. I think we should have a 'Here's whats new' summary that greets the user the first time he log in to a major new version. I guess this would be like the release notes, but shortened to to fit into a single screen. We could offer 'learn more...' links to the more extensive release notes from there. To make that work regardless of network, having the release notes installed together with the rest of the documentation would be good. We can also add a 'New to GNOME 3 ?' link that points to the Desktop Overview (something that we should have done for 3.0, really). Does this sound like a good idea ?

freeze break for default lock screen wallpaper
Hi! I'd like to ask for a freeze break for a very visible and poorly timed fix, but I believe we should go through with it for 3.10.1.

Re: Gnome Boxes freeze break request
Hi Zeeshan, Thanks for working on this. I've tried the patches and as you say there are some issues to work out: - The assistant comes up quite wide. I think the whitespace constraints that were put in place to make the layout somewhat work in super wide displays now work against us, making it unnecessary wide. I am also wondering if the sidebar really gives enough indication of progress to justify densifying the view. Maybe we would be better off with a (step 1 of 5) or even (1 of 5) as a suffix to the title. Maybe Allan wants to chime in? http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/too-wide.png - We end up with a sub optimal dialog within a dialog for when selecting an image/iso from the filesystem. It's hopefully just a fallback, so it's not as tragic. The situation sort of repeats itself in the customization though, trying to be sneaky and closing the parent modal (and as a sidenote, having the runtime indicators and force shutdown button is quite unfortunate in this context too). I'm not sure how time intensive it would be to do the modification either directly in place or with a revealer+back button (possibly colliding with the assistant flow. This definitely needs some design time. - The properties dialog sidebar needs some whitespace love under the shutdown button... http://jimmac.musichall.cz/stuff/boxes-padding.png cheers On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 1:51 PM, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) zeesha...@gnome.org wrote: Hi Andre, On Fri, Aug 29, 2014 at 11:35 AM, Andre Klapper ak...@gmx.net wrote: On Fri, 2014-08-29 at 02:02 +0100, Zeeshan Ali (Khattak) wrote: While we await the second ack from release-team, I was hoping I can ask for another break: Please always start a separate thread for a separate request in case you expect me to understand, follow, and even reply to your mail.

License: LGPLv2+ in the attached patches, but it's not worse than before. IANAL, but IMHO every source file should have a proper header with a copyright and license notice. That is nothing new. Thats the convention we have always followed in Boxes. I tend to follow the general conventions unless I have a good reason not to so this is not coming from me. Marc-Andre started the project and he made this decision. Feel free to file a bug about this and we can certainly think about changing that for all source files. (If .vala files are considered source files.) What else should they be considered? Designers would love to have this and so would I and Lasse in 3.14 already. Same opinion as Fred: *If* designers have tested this and would like to see it, here is another r-t approval. As I said, they have not tested this but they do want it.
