Icon and window resizing: One of the attractive features of Linux is the ability to not be LOCKED into the limitations of "The Microsoft/Apple" mentality. Being able to not have the Desktop cluttered by HUGE Icons (we call them Idiot-Cons) is one of those features. Also the ability to resize, Reorder and reorganize the menus and the sizes of whatever we open is another important feature of the Linux experience. Gnome allowed this freedom and all of my clients (my self included) loved it. Example: when posting this comment I needed to open two copies of Firefox next to each other (not "Tabbed") to allow viewing two (overlapped) web sites. This was a difficult task to do and Unity repeatedly attempted to force each Firefox window to occupy the entire screen over the other. "Tabs" are not a desirable feature. On a few computers I have setup there is more than one screen but these are an exception! If Unity is going to attempt to imitate the Microsoft/Apple mentality then Unity will be a giant step backwards for the Linux community.
Just remember the "old Eskimo" saying: "If you are not the lead dog, the scenery never changes!" Is it the plan to follow the Microsoft/Apple "butts" down the road? Is that the "view" (LOL) you want for Unity? I hope not! Until Unity has better customization abilities I will be moving everyone's desktop over to the "Classic" version and if that becomes unavailable then I will move everyone over to a different Distro! Remember, we call them Idiot-Cons for a reason! Thank you for an otherwise (for now) excellent program. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713087 Title: Allow unity launcher to be resizable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/713087/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
