shell: Use icon for "All Settings" button (1.69 KB, patch)

Description themerion 2011-08-21 21:52:58 UTC 
When in a System Settings App, there is a button for going back to the System Settings overview. The button is labeled "All Settings".

This doesn't make sense if you didn't come from the System Settings overview in the first place. For instance, the sound settings can be accessed from the speaker in the top-right corner of the desktop.

User experience: Clicking at the speaker icon, hitting "Sound Settings", and getting a window labeled "Sound" containing only sound settings. What "All Settings" is supposed to do is rather unclear in this case. I thought for sure it would show all _sound_ settings.

Naming the button "System Settings" or "All System Settings" would be much more informative.

Why not just hide it completely if a specific panel was requested to be open?

Because it breaks navigation for no good reason (eg. I clicked on "Sound settings" but now need to access "Bluetooth settings" for my headset, etc.)

bug #661445 suggest to address this by another way, using a navigation bar similar to nautilus (i.e "system settings> sound" would be displayed when you are in the sound preferences panel)
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2011-10-19 15:50:24 UTC 
The patch changes the button to just be a single icon, which would make the goal much clearer.

You still need something to "jump" to the overview page, and there are numerous problems with using a breadcrumb widget which are best discussed in the other bug.

Thanks Bastien, is there any chance you update the other bug with some details on those numerous problems?
