‘Unity Greeter Badges’ Brings Missing Session Icons to Ubuntu Login Screen
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**A new package available in Ubuntu 15.04 solves a petty gripe I have with the Unity Greeter: the lack of branded icons for alternative desktop sessions like Cinnamon.**
|
||||
|
||||
I know it’s a minor quibble; it’s a visual paper cut with minimal impact for most. But the inconsistency niggles me because Ubuntu ships with icons for a number of sessions, including Unity, GNOME and KDE. Other DEs, including some of its own flavors like Xubuntu, default to showing a plain white dot in the session switcher list and the main user pod.
|
||||
|
||||
The inconsistency these dots create jars, even if it is only for a fleeting moment, not just in design. It’s in usability too. Branded glyphs are helpful in letting us know what session we’re about to log in to.
|
||||
|
||||
For instance, can you tell what session this is?
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Budgie? Maybe MATE? Could be Cinnamon…I’d have to click on it and check first.
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn’t have to be this way. The Unity Greeter is built such that the developers of desktop environments can ship badges that appear in the Greeter (and some do). But in many cases, like MATE whose packages are imported from upstream Debian, the inclination to carry an “Ubuntu-specific patch” is either not desirable or not possible.
|
||||
|
||||
### A Solution Is Badged ###
|
||||
|
||||
Experienced Debian maintainer [Doug Torrance][1] has a solution to fix this usability paper cut. Rather than rely on desktop makers themselves to add branded badges to their packages, and rather than burden Ubuntu with the responsibility of maintaining it, Torrance has created a separate ‘unity-greeter-badges’ package to house them.
|
||||
|
||||
In assuming responsibility for providing the session glyphs directly, this package ensure that new and old window managers, session and desktops alike are catered for.
|
||||
|
||||
Among the 30 or so desktop environments it bundles new session badges for are:
|
||||
|
||||
- Xubuntu
|
||||
- Cinnamon
|
||||
- MATE
|
||||
- Cairo-Dock
|
||||
- Xmonad
|
||||
- Awesome
|
||||
- OpenBox
|
||||
- Pantheon
|
||||
|
||||
The best part is that ‘**Unity-Greeter-Badges**’ has been accepted into Ubuntu 15.04. That means Torrance’s package will be available to install directly, no PPAs or downloads needed. In not being part of a core package like the Unity Greeter it can be updated with newer icons in a more efficient and timely manner.
|
||||
|
||||
If you’re running Ubuntu 15.04 you will find the package available to install from the Software Center in the coming days.
|
||||
|
||||
Don’t want to wait until 15.04? Torrance has made .deb installers for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10 users.

‘Unity Greeter标识卡’——将丢失的会话带回Ubuntu登录屏幕
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Ubuntu 15.04中的一个新包解决了我对Unity Greeter抱有的微词：缺乏其它像Cinnamon这样的Linux桌面会话的标牌式图标。**
|
||||
|
||||
我知道这有点吹毛求疵了；这只是对大多数人而言几乎毫无影响的视觉裂痕而已。但是这种不一致性时时刻刻缠绕着我，让我不胜其烦，因为Ubuntu自带了大量的会话，包括Unity、GNOME和KDE。其它桌面环境，包括它自己的一些跳制品，像Xubuntu，都默认在会话切换列表和主用户界面显示了一个朴素的白点。
|
||||
|
||||
这些点点们造成的这种不一致性刺激着神经，即使它只是稍纵即逝，但这种刺激不仅仅来自设计，也来自可用性方面。标牌式的标志符号对于让我们知道我们即将登陆到哪个会话很有帮助。
|
||||
|
||||
例如，你能告诉我们这个是个什么会话呢？
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
没有必要这样做啊。构建Unity Greeter，就是为了让桌面环境开发者能够部署标识卡到欢迎屏幕中（有些确实这样做了）。但在许多情况下，像MATE，它的包来自上游的Debian，想要移植一个“Ubuntu专用的补丁包”不太可取，也不太可能。
|
||||
|
||||
### 一个解决方案出炉了 ###
|
||||
|
||||
有经验的Debian维护者[Doug Torrance][1]得到了修复该可用性裂痕的解决方案。与其依赖桌面制造者自己来添加品牌式标识卡到他们的包中，与其给Ubuntu增加维护它的责任重担，Torrance还不如自己创建了一个独立的‘unity-greeter-badges’包来收容它们。
|
||||
|
||||
承担起了直接提供会话标志的假定责任后，该包确保能同时迎合新旧窗口管理器、会话和桌面。
|
||||
|
||||
在30个左右的桌面环境中，它为以下桌面捆绑了新的会话标识卡：
|
||||
|
||||
- Xubuntu
|
||||
- Cinnamon
|
||||
- MATE
|
||||
- Cairo-Dock
|
||||
- Xmonad
|
||||
- Awesome
|
||||
- OpenBox
|
||||
- Pantheon
|
||||
|
||||
最重要的是，‘**Unity-Greeter-Badges**’已经被Ubuntu 15.04收录进去。这就意味着Torrance的包将可以直接安装，不需要PPA，也不需要下载。没有像Unity Greeter一样成为核心包的一部分，它可以以更高效和更及时的方式更新新的图标。
|
||||
|
||||
如果你真运行着Ubuntu 15.04，在不久的将来，你就可以从软件中心获取并安装该包了。
|
||||
|
||||
不想等到15.04？Torrance已经为Ubuntu 14.04和Ubuntu 14.10用户做了个.deb安装器。
