GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 727345
Consider removing gear menu
Last modified: 2014-04-09 02:55:44 UTC
Chess is a game, and menus aren't fun: * Claim Draw is confusing and only needed for real Chess experts. I think automatically claiming draws would suffice for GNOME Chess. * Resign is also of limited use. I think the value of Resign is when you save a history of the games you have played, including losses to the computer. It might be good to find a way to keep this. * Save As can replace the Save button that's currently in the header bar. (They can still have separate keyboard shortcuts, since you probably don't want to be bothered with a dialog each time you press Ctrl+S.) This would obviate the need to fix Bug #727070.
We could replace the gear menu with a face-sad-symbolic button (for resign).
Let's do this: * Remove Claim Draw completely, as per comment #1 * Replace the Save button with a Save As button, as per comment #1 * Use the sad face for Resign, comment #2
