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

 

We sure can't - but see this bug Haggai reported a while back :
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/654988

The bug has a fix released - but guess what - not quite yet. Due to the
fact it needs to be thoroughly tested.. and i haven't received any
response yet about the availability in the upcoming LTS..

I doubt we'll see this being fixed any time soon - but if it does, it
will probably be a part of the customization options in Precise such as
these: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/unity-global-menu-to-become-
optional/

and these (at 2.2 - Appearance Settings):

Bug description:
  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

  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.

  [This report previously also covered RTL in the greeter, which is
  tracked separately in bug 834386.]
