|
||
|
||
|
||
Linux Mint 18.3
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
implement an alarm clock
|
||
add a dictionary
|
||
install mp3 support without codecs?
|
||
|
||
slick-greeter:
|
||
in live mode, show live-related info? (could be used to show the live login/password)
|
||
session badges look blurry in HiDPI
|
||
expose more settings via lightdm-settings (hiding user list, letting user type his username, autologin etc..)
|
||
consider adding numlockx support
|
||
|
||
cinnamon:
|
||
ccc: wacom - when no tablet is detected, remove fugly frame around content and fix bt settings button not linking towards blueberry
|
||
menu keywords: looking for display in menu shows color first
|
||
consider: notifications stay on desktop until mouse is moved + a few secs
|
||
reconsider inhibiting onscreen keyboards (our keyboard doesn't do locales layouts and it's quite ugly)
|
||
ccc display doesn't always show screen ID windows
|
||
preferences > keyboard > custom shortcuts. Used with a Spanish keyboard layout. Recorded: crtl+number and ctrl+Shift+number (e.g. ctrl+1 and ctrl+shift+1 = ctrl+!) they are recorded correctly. When using the shortcut the command defined in the shift combination is triggered with just ctrl+number (i.e. ctrl+1). The complete combination triggers nothing (i.e. ctrl+shift+1 does nothing) and the comand defined in ctrl+number can never be used. This worked in 17.3.
|
||
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.
|
||
todo list applet/desklet
|
||
calendar events applet/desklet
|
||
multiple clocks https://github.com/simonwiles/cinnamon_applets
|
||
menu: use search providers to search local files
|
||
network applet: airplane mode (quick way to rfkill all)
|
||
network applet: https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/2746
|
||
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)
|
||
[Michael] bg gets erased after suspend? https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=739178
|
||

|
||
notice to reboot the computer when appropriate
|
||
kernelwindow: make kernel series column desc-sorted and select the active series
|
||
|
||
mintdrivers:
|
||
microcode package description is misleading in driver manager, should it be removed?
|
||
|
||
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)
|
||
Right-click on the desktop -> No templates installed
|
||
|
||
system:
|
||
for non-english speaking people, it is not possible to change language, nor keyboard settings, when starting livemedia.

mint-y The maximize/restore window control button doesn’t change visually between in maximized and restored state (default theme and Mint-Y-Dark)
|
||
|
||
xplayer:

History buttons confuse users (they think they're Next Page and Previous Page buttons)
|
||
|
||
synaptic:
