Scott, if you could articulate the approach you think would be appropriate to delivering a better user experience over time, that would be appreciated. In this case: * user testing supports the view that the indicators are a much better experience than the old notification area * the new experience was introduced in 2009, it is now 2013 * in the interim we have supported the old experience, providing a large window for developers that care about Ubuntu users to adopt the better API and experience * developers that do not care about Ubuntu users will not respond to any other issues you may find in their software * we continue to maintain, at my expense, older versions of Ubuntu compatible with the notification area If you're offering to do the work, that's fine, but if you're insisting that others do work for you, and have no proposal for how you would see the platform evolve to get better over time, then please recognise the paucity of your arguments. Finally, don't conflate a reluctance to have the same argument endlessly with a reluctance to make a case. You'll find our position clearly articulated here and elsewhere, we're just reluctant to have to restate it every time, and be called names, when we could be making an amazing experience that competes with Windows8 and Android and MacOS ;) Mark -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/974480 Title: Notification area whitelist is obsolete To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/974480/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
