[Bug 1138874] Re: high contrast window buttons NOT high contrast

2016-02-12 Thread Nicholas Joll
On my system (Linux Mint Cinnamon), the icons do not differ between maximised and non-maximised state - except that, irritatingly, the hovered-over version of the maximise icon is *very dark* when the window is maximised. I wonder whether the poster means 'low contrast (grey and white) when *the

[Bug 1399991] Re: Sometimes scroll appears to go in wrong direction

2015-08-01 Thread Nicholas Joll

Caffeine does not work for me either, I am afraid - at least not so far as stopping the screensaver when using full-screen Skype goes. And I even had Caffeine manually set to 'activated'. caffeine 2.8.3 on Linux Mint 17.1 x64. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of
