Another fun project would be to pick important settings from Tweak Tool and merge them into gnome-control-center. We're not getting requests for Tweak Tool because it's a good app (it's not), but because gnome-control-center isn't good enough. I agree that Tweak Tool doesn't need to be included by default. It's dead simple to install with the gnome-software search provider, and it's home to the settings that we *don't* want to be offered to users. Anything we expect users to change belongs in gnome-control-center. I took a look through Tweak Tool and identified some candidates: * I think there's a strong case to be made for having the other background and lock screen settings in gnome-control-center. This has been a longstanding complaint from users since the background panel was redesigned in 3.6. * Shell extensions: As long as we're going to offer them, we shouldn't relegate them to Tweak Tool. Perhaps gnome-software would be a better location than gnome-control-center, but either would be better than Tweak Tool. (But the gnome-shell browser plugin is very crashy at worst and unreliable at best, so we should fix that first.) * Fonts: Frequently-requested settings, since people have extremely different preferences for how fonts should look. It'd be good to have a fonts panel. This would be a big project, though. * Power: The "power button action" and "when laptop lid is closed" settings would be good to have in the Power panel. At least we need the laptop lid setting; that's easy and commonly-requested. * Top bar: Maybe show date in clock could live in the Date & Time panel, where the 12/24 hour setting is. Curious for thoughts on these (Bastien? Rui?). I'll file bugs if they seem sane. -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
