mint-x-icons: in MATE (with a high panel), network status icons have a dark background in 32px and bigger. they would look much better in the panel with a transparent bg
track/troubleshoot shutdown sequence (user should know what is happening when shutdown isn't immediate)
nemo thumbnail error happens too often (too picky, does it always require root perms?)
cinnamon slow to start after boot --> delay execution of appsys/docinfo until the DE is loaded
track/troubleshoot vsync, compositing, unredirected windows and policy
add cinnamon-session (present but inactive) and cinnamon-settings-daemon to Launchpad/cinnamon-translations
menu: consider adopting this layout (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/The-Panacea-Projects/Gnomenu/master/Screenshot.png), same as ours/mintmenu, only better.
nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better
network applet: if possible, add a little refresh icon to ask for a new scan
alt-tab and panel use icon provided by appsys, ignoring icon set by the application itself (example: a python window using widow.set_icon_name())
actions in panel launchers aren't translated if not present in .desktop file
sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged
hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280)
gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo
When using Cinnamon bar at top, and secondary monitor with higher height than the main display, some apps like KDE Apps (Krita, Kdenlive) or Wine Based Apps (teamviewer) will display menus from toolbar in the wrong place. Being more specific: The menus will be displayed in the position that they should be displayed at main monitor, however in this case the window is maximized in the secondary monitor.
Is there any reason why there are two names for the same item, eg. "Trash" and "Rubbish Bin"? Would it be better to standardise on only one name?
add gnome-screenshot to panel, right-click and select "Take screenshot of a selected area". This runs gnome-screenshot -a.. it should work but it doesn't. Is it because of the panel launcher capturing the click event or something?
In Nemo, right-click on "File System" -> "Properties" gives the details of the Home folder, not the File System, making it difficult to determine the overal disk space available.
In Nemo, if i select a new tab, the folder name that appears in the tab appears with a separation line underneath, separating the tab name from the list of files in the folder. This style of separation is onconsistent to XED, where the Tab name and content under that tab have no such visible horizontal separation line.
system settings modules should be singletons (only one possible instance) and have their window use their own icon (in alt-tab, and window list)
xviewer
make the position (left/right, top/bottom won’t make much sense) of the sidebar configurable (like the gallery) at least via dconf!
xapps
add an option to blank other monitors when in full screen in xviewer/xreader/pix
implement an app-sharing protocol to quickly move a document from one app to another
safeguard against package removals (for instance, don't let users perform updates which would remove sensitive packages).
mate 1.20
sound events vs sound themes
multi-monitor: caja doesn't always show the desktop on the primary monitor (using a laptop as main/left monitor, and HDMI screen with higher res on the right, it surprisingly ends up showing icons on the right screen)
system:
for non-english speaking people, it is not possible to change language, nor keyboard settings, when starting livemedia.
