(maybe a meta-theme and support for it in cinnamon?). website revamp X-Apps: [done] xed [done] xplayer [done] xviewer [done] xreader xar xapps support in Cinnamon xapps support in MATE xapps support in MIME defaults Regressions: GTK/Cinnamon: window is mapped to top-left and then moves in position when minimizing and then restauring from the panel window list GTK/Nemo: text entry out of place when renaming a file GTK: Overlay scrollbars hide content (for instance the last line of text in a text editor when wrapping is disabled) Mint apps: review python shebangs: [done] mint-common [done] mintdesktop [done] mintsystem [done] mintwelcome [done] mintinstall [done] mintmenu [done] mintsources [done] mintstick [done] mintupdate [done] mintupload [done] mintnanny [done] mintbackup [done] mint-dev-tools mintdrivers mintlocale gtk3: [done] mintdesktop [done] mintsystem [done] mintwelcome [done] mintlocale [done] mintdrivers [done] mintnanny [done] mintstick [done] mint-common [glebihan] mintupdate mintbackup mintinstall mintsources mintupload hidpi: mintwelcome uses 32px png icons mintlocale uses fixed-size flag icons Full black-box testing on xenial: mintdesktop mintsystem mintwelcome mintinstall mintmenu mintsources mintstick mintupdate mintupload mintbackup mintdrivers mintlocale mintnanny Software selection: consider replacing/removing mintbackup consider replacing/removing gthumb System: Restore brightness settings on reboot (killswitch does that for bluetooth state) add "pwfeedback" to Defaults line in sudoers file, to show *** feedback when typing password Upgrade path from Mint 17.3 mate 1.14: touchpad: tap actions should reflect click actions mcc: replace sound themes with sound events 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) cinnamon 3.0: touchpad: tap actions should reflect click actions multi-monitor: add an option to suspend on lid-close EVEN when external monitors are plugged sound: add an option to switch sound to HDMI when an HDMI output device is plugged menu: search on non-accentuated versions (for instance, "method" should find mintlocale's im in French) hidpi issues: top of mint menu is cut off in HiDPI (1920×1280) gnome-system-monitor moves out of place in Expo when battery is very low, battery icon isn't red.. 2% charge, with less than 5 minutes to go, still not red.. bar is red in CCC, icon is red in notification.. but not in applet (and also not in the CCC icon itself either) 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. hovering over notifications which have buttons/widgets should not dim them ... accessibility: ability to select files by hovering them mintupdate: unattended updates? at least provide a CLI to do it via cron? fix mergelist issues directly in mintupdate or checkAPT mintinstall: when apt cache is missing, it just says not available.
