C.Kontros > The double clic is not an option for everyone (some users have disabilities or hardware devices that make double clic painful). That's why I'm reporting this bug. (at first, I reported it as a bug against metacity where I was told that it was already implemented). It also makes the "shade" button feature of metacity completely useless : if no theme want to implement it, it will not work. Last but not least, double clic on the title bar is very "non discoverable" and it's a problem.
Also, I really don't understand how a theme make can impose this technical choice. The button displayed in the title bar are an user technical choice (configuration through gconf). The theme is choosen independantly because of user taste. I'm an user interaction specialist and I'm exploring new paradigm with some test users. I noticed that this button is really well perceived by some users (elderlies, people with no previous computing experience) and is a lot easier than the minimize one (if you are interested by the details, you can contact me but it's outside of the scope of this bug I think). I never did any theme for metacity (hopefully for your eyes ;-) ) but is it that hard to add this button ? I mean, I'm not asking for the prettiest stuff in live. I guess that just adding the same button as the minimize one with a 180° twist would be enough. But I admit that I have no idea about the amout of work required. What I still think is that it should be regarded as a missing feature in a theme and thus as a bug. As an end user, if I configure my metacity to display the shade button (with gconf-editor but it could be with any gui tool), I want to see this button. If I don't see it, it would be a bug (just put yourself in the seat of someone who enable this button in metacity). -- Doesn't implement the metacity "shade" button https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315119 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
