Don't take me wrong. I love Gnome3 ! I Love the Gnome-shell more than I love
Unity. I just hate that by default there is a lot of things that you can't
do. I know how to program extensions for it, I already wrote one for dropbox
to be on top with some custom features, but for me something as simple as :
1 - Change the position of the clock
2 - Add seconds, the day etc.. of the clock
3 - Change the "Suspend" button into "Restart" and "Suspend" or
just"Shutdown..." with all the options
4 - There should be a possibility to manage the size of the icons on the
Activities windows (on a bigger screen people don't see this as a problem,
but try it on a netbook with 1333x768 and you will understand, after 8 icons
when any new icon is added all the icons on the dock become very little and
hard to see, and this, even knowing that there is a lot of free space on the
bottom).
So that is my real problem with all those DE, simple things can't be done
easily. I have the exact same problem with KDE. We can change EVERYTHING on
KDE it is amazing :D And this is why I LOVE KDE !... but... You can't change
the clock in order to have the hours in the right of the Date... you need to
have only the Hours or the date at the bottom.... I love the clock of
Trisquel because of that, we can do whatever we want :D And that is fantastic
!
