[Bug 871764] Re: Ubuntu right-to-left consistency

 

** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Changed in: unity-greeter (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

** Description changed:

  Most toolkits properly deal with right-to-left, properly inverting the
  UI.
  
  When doing ISO testing, I noticed it's not quite the case for unity
  greeter and unity, here are some notes of the inconsistencies I noticed:
  
  = Unity =
  - Launcher is on the left, identical to a left-to-right system
  - Indicators are on the right, identical to a left-to-right system
  
- = Unity Greeter =
- - User switcher is on the left, identical to a left-to-right system
- - Indicators are on the left, different from a left-to-right system
- 
  I'm not sure what's the best as I'm not a right-to-left user myself, but
  we should either have Unity also invert its UI, making it consistent
- with what's done in the greeter's panel. Then change the greeter to have
- the user list on the right.
+ with what's done in the greeter's panel.
  
- Or if using the same UI as for left-to-right is OK and is what want,
- then the greeter's panel should be changed to be consistent with
- Unity's.
+ [This report previously also covered RTL in the greeter, which is
+ tracked separately in bug 834386.]
