Normal just means unchallenged status quo. Change towards improvement is suppose to be the driving force behind all development.
The dialog boxes are inconsistent then because some dialog boxes are normal small windows but others are the bloated space hogs. They are all suppose to be the latter. My guess is it involves the different calls from a program to the window manager. Some calls are well defined dialog boxes , usually I note with icons defined by the programmer ,and others which are general calls with system fonts and text entry fields or radio buttons. So you could say it is a programmers responsibility to make the call. If it is plasma netbook interface would that be the package involved here? So should all dialog calls should be defined by the window manager? A Measurement of all text and buttons to be included in a box, with defined edges. You make the call. From the two different dialog boxes in use I would presume it is the window manager making the call based on the content. Another option is a preference for defining how general dialog boxes are defined. BECAUSE its a netbook they should be small enough to handle WITHIN the screen. I started to mention that in Kajongg when I clicked the box with arrows in the corners pointing inward the dialog box would cut to about half the screen and you could drag it around to see or use the underlying screen. I recently updated a bunch of system packages and now the little box which I presume means make smaller doesn't do anything for any window now. It is fine with the system permission page, the attached picture, I thought it was a "security feature" so you just entered your password and couldn't mess around with the calling window, Muon package handler on my system, but after receiving the message from Wolfgang about the synaptic program and today when I was renaming files it hit me fully that all instances of the full-screen-what-should-be-dialog-boxes were in fact all the same issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/992804 Title: dialog boxes are full blown full screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-baseapps/+bug/992804/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
