GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 400844
Use fancy popup when using a compositing manager
Last modified: 2009-09-09 16:13:56 UTC
Basically, when compiz is running, use the same style of popup dialogue as gnome-settings-daemon now does for the volume popups. See bug 383066
Hmm. Has this been discussed on the HIG list? Isn't it also quite late in the release cycle to change UI?

Also, is this new dialogue suitable for accessability tools? Has it been tested? I think this needs to be brought up on d-d-l. If feedback is positive, I'll get coding, but otherwise I'm not sure. Jon or Bastien, can you send a mail pls. Thanks.

There's no regression there. > I think this needs to be brought up on d-d-l. If feedback is positive, I'll get > coding, but otherwise I'm not sure. Jon or Bastien, can you send a mail pls. > Thanks. Jakub has sent Jon and I a mail with some mockups, and it's probably a good idea to use large theme icons for the popups rather than drawing like it's done now.
Just as a side note, because I don't think it's worth another bug report: The popup placement should be consistent with gnome-settings-daemon. Currently, gpm draws it at the center of the screen, whereas gsd draws it at the center of the lower half of the screen.

So, current Fedora rawhide draws fancy popup when adjusting brightness. I suppose this bug can be closed as fixed?
