<![CDATA[Desktop Customisation, Currently all over the place]]> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/15021/ have to go to System--->Preferences and if I want to change my background I have to go to the Desktop and Right-click it, Logically you would think that Resolution and screen saver would be in the same place as desktop background, themes and visual effects. So what I'm saying is that when you right click the Desktop there should be an option saying 'Customize Desktop' which have these options when opened ; Theme, Background, Font, Interface, Visual effects, Screen saver and Resolution.

Here is a mock up:

Hope you like and tell me what you think.

Heck no?

Since when is resolution a customization thing?

I think it is much better the current way, easier to find the "change resolution icon" than to guess it is in the same place as background.

Screensaver should be included there, I agree with that. But big NO for resolution.

I suggest we'd change it to a window or something where we can have the different options grouped, a bit like the "show in groups" function of Windows XP. That way, we can have the best of both worlds.]]> Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:31:47 +0000 Comment from Cybercod
Just because you've learned to expect something in a certain place doesn't mean that is the "logical" place for it to be.
