[Bug 533548] Re: rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency
I think a checkbox makes good sense for representing a controlled state, whereas buttons that change themselves are potentially bad for usability. -- rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 519804 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519804 Dylan McCall, I think this is not duplicate. I think it is bad design to use a checkbox just like Matthew Paul Thomas wrote in the first comment: Play option should be without checkbox and when clicked it should change to Pause. -- rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ah, I see now. Thanks, grofaty! ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 519804 icons not aligned in the indicator ** Description changed: Binary package hint: rhythmbox-applet See screenshot. - The checkbox should be in line with all the other icons, not randomly - out to one side. + Having a checkbox at all is silly. It should be just play/pause - you + don't need a checkbox. - Actually, having a checkbox at all is silly.

Matt, Okay, so that's all well and good.

[Bug 533548] Re: rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency
If the developers just deletes the checkbox items and replaces it with a menu option 'Play' than changes to 'Pause' when clicked. It could be a fast patch... and even more intuitive than a checkbox. -- rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 519804 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/519804 Looks like we have a whole lot of bug reports on this topic, all using Rhythmbox as an example but focusing on indicator-applet's bizarre behaviour. The trouble is that they have very different descriptions, which could cause issues in keeping track of the specific problem. I think it's justified to call this the exact same issue as the icon alignment thing, since doing menus the right way will resolve the checkbox problem magically (since GTK+ is, in fact, very magical when treated correctly). Bug #519804 is the oldest of the bunch that I can see, so I'm marking this as a duplicate :) ** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 519804 icons not aligned in the indicator -- rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 533548] Re: rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency
This is partly a Rhythmbox problem and partly a theme problem. The Rhythmbox problem is that it has always regarded Play as something you turn on and off, rather than as the opposite of Pause (bug 71228). The theme problem is that menus should have checkmarks, not checkboxes, i.e. should not be cluttered by checkbox borders. (The same is true for radio buttons.) -- rhythmbox-applet checkbox inconsistency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/533548 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
