THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!! THE BEST 2.xx SERIES AT THE MOMENT!!! I am very happy because Gnome now has: -Little bit more stable Nautilus (Doesn't crash so often) -Real folder address bar is back in action making it billion times faster and easier to change between folders. (This is the point I would like to thank especially. It's been pain in my ass in previous versions where this functionality was removed. Thank god it is now back.) -Faster startup -Bit more intelligent places functionality. I might actually start using it. -Desktop bar is great, I don't need gnome menus anymore that much. -Disk drives are actually now on my desktop. -two panels can now be close and work and look like one panel. (I could ask why cannot one panel eat applets on two levels?) I still have couple suggestions: -*make longer roadmaps and make them more challenging* by adding lots of more features in future. And please make a deal like that every second stable Gnome release is a bug fixing cycle with no new features. -make it more beautiful, it's already somewhat beautiful but not as nice to theme as it could be. For example you could make Tango-icons a default icon theme in future. But Tango still needs a lots of more icons... Don't get me wrong, Clearlooks is a great theme but it looks like too fat on some points. Some clear edges to buttons won't hurt. It's got too much of bubble alike buttons and controls which are too big on small screens. (>1024x768) -make the logout like it was in previous version, this new 'logout-box' and 'shutdown-box' is not as good. It's more intelligent to have a 'more attention' by making background dark and make it a box which you have to answer something. Ok the current box is topmost window of all but it's not enough I think. -Gnome still needs some serious tweaking in fonts, usability, themes, etc... Ask yourself a question, why does Gnome default for Nautilus is not to have a browser window? I think that most people will turn it on anyway. Fonts are too big and look somewhat ugly and no, I don't mean the AA. I mean readability. Use Arial or Helvetica or something like that, rather free version of those if available. Makes things a lot of more easier to read. -Panel separators aren't that good of an idea. Old was bit better although this is nicer and I like it almost as much. Why they cannot have one by default and it could be disabled from some button in gnome panel setup... KDE works like that way and I guess you absolutely have to do it some otherway than what it would be most useful... -Why DBus hates QT soooo much? xD Thanks about this release. -Antti Aspinen- antti dot aspinen at phnet dot fi _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
