Well, that's unlikely to be a realistic goal. But at least respect the Unity interface. If XTerm shall remain installed by default, then making the icon match the current default set should be of paramount importance for visual consistency. Considering that this has been a papercut for so many for so long, albeit a minor one, I can't understand how interface standards can be raised unless Canonical and the greater Ubuntu community enforce design policies, and the first step is taking such complaints seriously. Yet, every one of the bug reports submitted in regard to the confusing inclusion of XTerm is either rudely shot down or ignored. Quite frankly, XTerm and its extremely bad looking icon in Dash (popping up every time you call up Gnome Terminal) both scares and confuses the target Ubuntu audience, which will never ever use it. It is, therefore, most obviously a legitimate concern!
Now, you say there are new icons available somewhere for XTerm patch #281. (By the way, the previous sentence means almost nothing to the target ubuntu audience.) But if ordinary users can't find or expect to get useful information in these bug reports about when or if such an improvement will become default in 12.10, or whether its available as as upgrade for 12.04, how can we possibly expect target audience Ubuntu users to take the time to file beneficial bug reports in the first place? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1022802 Title: XTerm and UXTerm need new icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xterm/+bug/1022802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
