Right, but when people place you as the destructor of SeaMonkey, and
tell you that your only goal is to fight off users of the feature you
just helped to survive at all, then they put it way over the top.
Most people probably don't realize that e.g. without my work on them,
SeaMonkey 2.0 wouldn't have progress windows at all. The old ones
didn't work with the new download manager backend to which we were
switching in any case. Nobody else volunteered to write new progress
windows that work with the new one, so I did, and e.g. not having
other icons available, I just reused the ones we already had in use in
the newly written download manager window.
In any case, those people have driven me away enough that I won't work
on any improvements of the progress windows, even though I had a few
such improvements, including better icons, in work.
In my opinion you have over-solved the problem already, and I mean that
in a good way. You have done more than the minimum work to make it
useful, taken pride in your creation, etc. If the pride of workmanship
doesn't justify the time to improve further, don't.
Mm-hm.
If you're looking for appreciation, it's in the dictionary, between
apathy and asinine.
Well, that was really uncalled for. Bob may not be God, but he doesn't
deserve that.
