[Bug 918580] Re: System Settings 'User Interface' name is bad in 12.04

 

Thank you for your bug report, the name was suggested by designers, see
https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?hl=en_GB

section "2.2": This panel should be renamed to “User Interface”.

Opening an ayatana-design component so they can review your comment, the
idea seems to be that the dialog will add options out of the appaerance
configuration

Title:
  System Settings 'User Interface' name is bad in 12.04

Status in Ayatana Design:

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I updated my 12.04 installation and noticed that in the System
  Settings section that Appearance has changed its name to User
  Interface. That name is a term that beginner users will not be
  familiar with and will most likely avoid clicking. Appearance is a
  much better name and has more meaning for the end user. These sorts of
  terms need to be avoided if Ubuntu wants to target less techy users
  and portray itself as a user friendly environment.
