Description Hans de Goede 2017-09-14 06:54:17 UTC 
Changing display settings:

Gnome 2: right click monitor systray icon (1 click)
Gnome 3 <= 3.24: Click system menu, click settings icons, click display (3 clicks, ok)
Gnome 3.26: Click system menu, click settings icons, scroll down (ugh having to scroll is really really bad here) till devices, click devices click display (4 clicks + having to scroll, ugh not nice)

2 things which come to mind here wrt the new design:

1) Why does sound warrant a toplevel setting but display does not ?
2) Since the control-panel has a fixed size, and we are using sub-menus / expanding options in the left pane with all the buttons, can we make it so that users don't have to scroll, by folding some more stuff into a (new ?) toplevel setting?
