What People Are Saying About GNOME [Part 6]

6901: 1.Remove APPLICATIONS WINDOW and add it as an icon in dock for quick launch.
2.Option to disable all popup's especially when drives are opened.
3.Auto hide top activities bar and enable bottom bar to easily switch between running applications.
4.Avoid Mono and other M**soft related crap.

Gnome 3 shell is the only choice as desktop environment for me today
i didnt like gnome 2 and was using kde.

6902: 1.save energy make everything black i keep my desktop background black too
2.Disable all popups they are useless and a distraction you can keep notifications but should be not visible unless we want to see it.
3.Autohide top bar enable bottom bar to switch quickly between applications.
4.Remove Applications window add it as an dock item to quickly launch
5.Option to select multiple applications one after another and hide the Applications window when done.
6.Option to uninstall/remove Accessibility majority of the users dont need it.
7.Optimise/reduce the window size currently it is too big and does not look good at all eg.Properties window of file

Optimise/reduce the window size currently it is too big and does not look good at all eg.Properties window of file

6903: Reduce the size of PROPERTIES and other windows they are not optimised and look too big.

System monitor is not good at all we use it to check cpu and ram usage of applications but what happens system monitor consumes more cpu and memory than other applications which is too bad Please rewrite it like KDE one.

Applications open slow in gnome 3 maybe because of their ability to use graphics and all the effects.

To avoid much of the criticism against gnome 3
1.Auto hide top bar and add a bottom bar to quickly switch between applications.

2.Ability to lauch multiple to applications one after another .

6904: 1.In nautilus add a + icon to open new window just like chrome.
2.Lose/hide top bar and add bottom bar to rapidly switch between applications.
3.Ability to launch applications rapidly

6905: LISTEN TO THE WISE MAN:
Here are my suggestions.
1.Lose the top bar completely.
2.Add a bottom bar to quickly switch between running applications.
3.Add a shortcut in dock to launch applications window
4. Add the ability to choose/launch multiple applications and only a minimize button to close window.
5.Your Desktop is a web browse learn/copy features of chrome for eg:+ icon to add new tab to nautilus.

6906: 1) Return fully to the standard desktop metaphor!
2) Get multi-seating working.
3) Clean up the pile of crap code called GDM.
4) Get the LUKs to pass the darn key right from GRUB for FULL disk encryption. *Stoned* bootkits are not fun!

Please stuff your Macs back up your asses. I know more then half the Gnome devs own Macs. I own a Mac but I use it ... as a Mac. Renders porn perfectly. My desktop is now xfce-4.8 as a DE,Lightdm,Compiz as a wm compositor and Emerald as the vm decorator. Looks just like Gnome 2.32.

6907: 1) Revert it back to Gnome 2.X
2) See 1.
3) See 2.

6908: 1.) Release things, when they are ready to be released (as in Gnome 2). No more half-baked crap, that does not even work (= Gnome 3)
2.) Remove the Gnome-shell, replace it with something written in GTK. If Clutter does not work with gtk, then don't use it at all.
3.) Spend more time with polishing the fallback mode.

The primary focus of a desktop environment should be to help users getting their work done.

6909: The new desktop experience is awful. Gnome 2 was not the best, but Gnome 3 is unusable. I switched to KDE 4.7.

Personalization of the desktop is for me the most important thing. I've tried to personalize my desktop but it seems to be impossible.
I don't understand how could be considered an improvement a software that requires more click to do the same things (e.g. to launch a program).
It is of primary importance having the possibility to create launchbar, to create icons on the desktop. This is the way millions of people use the pc, why change?

6910: More configuration options available easily.

Interface developed for high-resolution mouse and keyboard-based work, not driven primarily by low-res large icon touchscreen.

6911: Stability, configuration, quality of applications.

6912: 1. Bring back cascading menus, which have only been around for 25 years.
2. LISTEN to the users!
3. Make gnome-fallback much more like GNOME 2.3, with a SYSTEM menu.

1. PAY ATTENTION! Just because you say you've "made GNOME better" doesn't mean that it actually happened. I do NOT want a smartphone interface on my desktop.

6913: Make it for desktops again, forget about that tablet sh!t.
Go back to the less resources hungry old gnome
Make it stable for god sake

I know you guys put a lot of work in what you do.... but please remember the old saying "if something is not broken don't try to fixed"
and god damned listen to what your fewer users have to say about what you think is the "future". Tablets aren't desktops.

6914: 3.2 -> 2.

stop lying about how great it is. it sucks. real, experienced users of computers(e.g Linus) cannot get real (ie computing, programming, etc) work done on pure 3.2 . who told you to create this monster and why did they do it?

6915: If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.
If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Thanks a bunch for fucking up my desktop experience.
