So I say: let's allow Ubuntu Tweak into default installation. In reality it is GNOME Tweak so perhaps GNOME devs would have motivation to include the tweak options in 'Preferences' menu where they really belong.]]> Fri, 07 Mar 2008 17:28:00 +0000 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 20:30:59 +0000 Thu, 22 May 2008 07:41:07 +0000 At least put it in the Add/Remove programs.]]> Sat, 24 May 2008 21:03:54 +0000 Wed, 28 May 2008 08:49:27 +0000
But damn great tool, just downloaded it and all those things i spent hours trying to understand and do is just one single click here.]]> Wed, 28 May 2008 13:11:51 +0000 Mon, 22 Sep 2008 14:58:36 +0000
For example, the corner settings for Compiz. Compiz manager is a total mess IMHO and tweak offers you the most needed features.

In addition, I think Ubuntu should ship with some decent defaults. For example, the window scale is too bouncy. I find that distracting. Window wiggle is plain useless.

I think Mac OS X can teach us a lot.]]> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 02:11:07 +0000 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:27:29 +0000 so -1 for the ubuntu tweak by default, but i can understood the question]]> Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:49:31 +0000
