Ever tried using yumex with compiz? It ends up going grey, usually because I *told* it to do something, and it is *already* indicating its busyness with a progress meter.
that's yumex's GUI design problem. The GUI shouldn't freeze when the application is busy. Similar behaviour is found in 'pup'. These are GUI design issues. If you drag a window on top of it, you'll notice that the GUI doesn't refresh. These are the cases were compiz (correctly in my opinion) will grey them out. This is a false behaviour caused by the GUI designers of those applications, not compiz's fault.
Whatever happened to just switching to a busy pointer shape? THAT would be consistent with decades old standards of GUI behavior.
exactly that -> "decades old...". Window managers are evolving. We should explore better ways to interact with the user, though I will agree with you that overly 'interactive' environments are destructing. Dismissing anything new isn't the answer. -Ioannis -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
