Re: [Ayatana] Gnome-tweak-tool by default



Completely agreed with you there. Asking for that certain gnome-tweak-tool by default does not make sense. Ubuntu must develop its own system customization tool and ship it by default.

Ian,

I point you to the Ubuntu power users community. There is a need for a advanced configuration tool - but as a part of the "Putting safety into our work" thread on there, I think someone mentioned that if such a "Ubuntu/Unity tweak tool" was installed by default, it would need to have a warning explaining "Oy, you can break your system like this." the first time you ran it, similar to the way the Synaptic package manager did. 

Cheers,
James Gifford

I disagree. The current setup is fine. Most users will never need nor want to modify any of the settings that gnome-tweak-tool provides. For the users that do it'svery easy to learn where the settings are and how to get them.

Gnome-tweak-tool provides access to a lot of irrelevant settings. In addition to overwhelming the user with options, it exposes settings specific to gbome-shell, which is not installed. The presence of these options would confuse the user, when they learn that they don't appear to do anything.

Hello Brandon,

This is something that has been discussed before - it'd be better to create a "system tweak tool" that handles everything - think ccsm, gnome-tweak-tool and ubuntu tweak all in one.

Cheers,

I've seen many reactions to the new ubuntu 11.10 release, and one veyr common critisism is missing settings (particularly font settings. The excellent gnome-tweak-tool brings back almost all of the commonly missed settings and a lot of new users don't seem to know about it. This is really something that should be installed by default in ubuntu.

It's about time we stop backing away from common sense (no offense anyone).. Put the configs in the right control center by default, end of story.
