# GNOME Design Calls ## 31 August 2022 ### Topics * Quick settings style tweaks * Settings priorities for 44 * 44 planning * Redesign other locations - [app-mockups#61](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/app-mockups/-/issues/61) * Background apps - [os-mockups#153](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/os-mockups/-/issues/153) * It's a bit unclear where we landed with this. I think that I wanted to drop the whole dialog, but Tobias wanted to explore something else? ### Notes Portals * Portals design priorities * Global shortcut portal * Camera portal * Device portal * Removing static permissions - for pulseaudio, devices * Opportunities to improve file system permissions? * Siloed app folders? * Flexible folder permissions? [gnome-music#69](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-music/-/issues/69) * How to move away from the XDG folders? [nautilus#577](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/577) Quick settings style tweaks * Things that have been discussed previously 1. Corner radii on popovers. It's higher for the quick settings than the other popovers, but making it consistent leads to issues elsewhere. Needs further changes elsewhere. Unclear whether people will notice the inconsistency or not. 2. Toggle button height [gnome-shell#5792](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5792). Also ties into issue 4. 3. Complaints about strings getting cut off - [gnome-shell#5770](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5770). Increasing button width could help with this, combined with reducing padding so not to inflate the size 4. Apparently there are other complains regarding the height of the menu, particularly 1366x768. Uneven horizontal/vertical spacing might be to blame? * **Actions** * Allan to organise a single issue to track the various potential style changes * Sam to present potential changes Settings priorities for 44 * [Initiatives/Settings](https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/initiatives/-/boards?label_name[]=Settings) * Navigation changes are the biggest ones * Removable Media and Default Apps are fairly straightforward * Color is harder. Splitting it out into a hidden app seems like the easiest course at this point. Cassidy isn't convinced about the case for splitting out Color - these are integrated hardware settings, there are * **Actions** * Allan to talk to Richard and Bastien about ways forward for the colour panel

Fedora Workstation Installer Needs

This document is a summary of needs and requirements for the Fedora Workstation installer. It includes a combination of functional requirements and user experience design goals. User profiles While Fedora Workstation does target developers and more technical users, we also prioritise new Linux adopters. Ease of use by relatively users who don't have Linux expertise is therefore critical for the Fedora Workstation installer. First run desktop configuration When someone boots a Fedora image for the first time, there are a few things that need setting up straight away so they can interact with the device.

Installer Pain Points in Fedora Workstation

This is a list of the main user experience pain points with Anaconda, from a Fedora Workstation perspective. It is to be used as input to the ongoing Anaconda redesign effort, and is meant to be a summary of the main standout issues, as opposed to being an exhaustive list of every UI niggle. Open Workstation installer issues can be seen here. Issues are in no particular order! 1. There’s no way for the user to configure the language and keyboard prior to using the live session If someone wants to use the live desktop session in a language other than the default, they are dropped into a session with US English, and have to manually find the Settings app and change the settings from there. 2. Automated workstation installation isn’t possible
