Linux Mint 18 Sarah
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
Look and feel:
|
||
isolinux theme
|
||
plymouth theme
|
||
GTK 3.18 support in Mint-X
|
||
Sidebar issues
|
||
Pathbar buttons (visible in nemo)
|
||
Context menus don't look good
|
||
new GTK theme
|
||
new icon theme
|
||
consider making it easy to switch to old theme? (maybe a meta-theme and support for it in cinnamon?).
|
||
website revamp
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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)
|
||
|
||

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
|
||
Don't disable ipv6 in Firefox
|
||
|
||
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. Instead it could tell the user or even help the user to refresh the cache.
|
||
mintmenu: dark themes https://github.com/linuxmint/mintmenu/issues/87
|
||
mintsystem: review /usr/bin/apt and add missing features (list, search etc..)
|
||
|
||
people are led to believe the community website is the place for support:
|
||
change the order in FF bookmarks -> place Community at the end, after Forums/Blog.
|
||
place an info message in the sidebar (or headerbar), and on the registration page to explain the forums are the place to be.
|
||
|
||
gthumb tries to launch gnome-control-center when applying a background
|
||
|
||
hexchat: add notifications, hide in/out messages, by default
|
||
|
||
Ready:
|
||
mintsources: add-apt-repository now supports --remove
|
