[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
@Rickard: I almost feel it would be better to fork the Ubuntu project and make Unity more customizable than ever. It seems like the Ubuntu team has stopped listening to users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
@Danillo: I get your point. Now that I understand that the current version of unity is more aimed at beginners I think that Unity is pretty good (my mom who is very technologically-challenged loves it). It just lacks some usability features. So maybe there can be a power version of unity that still has cool effects but has much more customization features. This would be for power users who like eyecandy but want to be able to customize extensively. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
Same here. I LOVE those big icons. That's why I am upset when the Ubuntu dev team goes directly against the wishes of the community. I really like unity and I don't want to leave it if I don't have to. Of course its going to introduce more bugs!!! EVERY change one makes to a website, program, or OS is BOUND to introduce bugs! But that is not a problem. Bugs are the way a program grows. Why is 12.04 being developed? That will introduce new bugs. But its not an issue! Why? Because the community WANTS 12.04. Mark seems to think that he is making the OS for himself, and the only one who should be involved is him. I think its time for a big paradigm shift. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

JohnLea wrote: @flyingfisch; I posted the reasons we are not able to add Launcher movement atm in comment #226. Basically implementing this change so that it works correctly with all the other Unity elements in a bug free manner is *a lot* of work from both a design and development standpoint. Our limited resources are currently best spent elsewhere (quality improvements, feature development). A change like this would introduce a lot of bugs, and this is not something we can do until the backlog of existing bugs is resolved. For very tech. savy users who don't mind bugs, patches are the way to go in order to preview functionality that has not yet met the quality standard required to land in main Ubuntu. See http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/install-ubuntu-unity-bottom-launcher.html for a great patch Pavel Golikov has written that moves the Launcher to the bottom. Thank You for your explanation. Like I said, I understand why it would be difficult, but could the ubuntu dev team consider it in a release? And I don't mean next release necessarily, I just mean, some time in the future. Here are some reasons to allow movement of the launcher by default: 1. Left-handed Users: Having the launcher on the right could be ergonomically difficult for left-handed users. 2.Accidental Activation: It seems easier to activate the launcher accidentally (while watching YouTube videos, playing games, etc.) when it is on the left. 3.User-friendliness: In my opinion, users should be able to customize most of the interface of an OS out-of-the-box. Those are just my personal opinions which are subject to debate. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
@shuttleworth: If you could post all your reasons for not letting user move the launcher themselves in one post, I think it would help a lot. I have programmed calculators as well as computers and know what it is like to try to make your own GUI. If you say that it would be too hard to implement in the next version, I would completely understand. But, why is this bug tabbed as Won't Fix? I can see not implementing it in the next version, but never planning on implementing it at all? We clearly need some answers. Although I am a left-handed user, I do not use the mouse in left-hand mode because I am so used to it in right-hand mode. However, that is not my problem. My problem is that I want the launcher at the bottom of the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher
I love the Unity interface as a whole, but I don't understand why we should not have an option for unity launcher at other edges by default. What are the advantages to not allowing users to customize? I see that it might be a good idea to have it placed at the left originally, but doesn't a user have a right to customize it? Also, I use Unity 2D and therefore cannot customize the position of the panel. Is there any real reason to keep users from moving the panel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
