Right, which is why I noted that the default sound set shouldnt be jazzy.
-1 There is no definition of 'subtle' or 'tasteful' for automated default sounds which is appropriate in any public setting. An ugly wallpaper by default is not a distraction to someone in a study area or in a meeting. Any default startup or desktop action sounds are an airborne disease whose infection rate can be substantially amplified by external, amplified speakers. While I personally yearn for the day where eye-candy fanatics can violate the visual senses of everyone in a 500 foot radius as easily as someone with their wall AC powered 5.1 speaker upgrade from Dell with a volume knob that goes to 11 can shatter my eardrums with the ever-so-soft tinkle of a desktop startup melody... that day isn't here just yet so everyone's retinas are safe. Our eardrums are not... subtle tones of a not-to-jazzy nature are still a public nuisance. Support my ballot measure to end unnecessary desktop noise pollution, vote yes on measure 123! -jef"make the default desktop have a vibrate mode instead, that way when laptops are used in the manner assumed in their naming...everyone would prefer vibrate"spaleta -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
