Hi, From libgnome2-0 version (2.27.5-0ubuntu1) Upstream is setting the context menus and dialogue buttons icons option to false by default. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557469 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=583352
Ubuntu doesnt want to change this default setting either. *Icons will not be displayed in context menu or dialogue windows* , Applications now need to use "gtk_image_menu_item_set_always_show_image" for *essential* icons to be displayed. Whenever you see a program that has menu items for objects where those menu items now don't include icons, report a bug on the program that it should use always-show-icons for those particular items. And conversely, whenever you see a program with icons on menu items for things that aren't objects, report a bug that the icons should be removed. Use a common tag ("menu-icons") for bug reports on this issue, so that the design team can keep track of the bugs. Examples of menu items that count as objects, and should therefore have icons: applications, documents (including any recent documents in a "File" menu), disks, partitions, folders, bookmarks, history items, IM accounts, IM statuses, user accounts. Examples of menu items that don't count as objects, and should therefore *not* have icons: openable windows (e.g. "Edit" > "Preferences" or "Go" > "Edit Bookmarks"), toolbars (e.g. "View" > "Toolbars" > anything), actions (e.g. "Go" > "Back").

P.S.2: sorry for this mass mail , it just a reminder for the devs, since several are not aware of these changes. -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
