Re: GitLab mirror considered harmful

2019-04-19 Thread Mike Gorse

How does KDE deal with appindicators? Is there something we could partner with then on? Are they trying to solve this also? Did KDE modify the spec? Not knowing much about the nuance of the different indicator solutions, my experience with kstatusnotifier has been fairly great. 5/6 icons show up

Ok, expanding on Sri's email I think we have two related but separate use cases here: 1) Having an indicator to let us know of running background apps after the window has been closed. 2) Having an indicator that has some level of user interaction, i.e. a messaging app With that said, we have

Hi gnome developers, I have a request. I just got a 4K 32" monitor and when running gnome, the cursor (mouse pointer) is too small. When I go into tweak-tool, I can scale the fonts, but I had to dig through the dconf-editor and change the /org/gnome/desktop/interface/cursor-size variable to

Thank you so much for bringing this up(again). I had originally only subscribed to this mailing list to see if some bugs I had ran across in 3.32 were already known(to which no one replied but whatever) but I'm glad because it only proves one of my points about Gnome shooting itself in the
