A Week With GNOME As My Linux Desktop: What They Get Right & Wrong - Page 3 - GNOME Applications
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
### Applications ###
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This is the one area where things are basically a wash. Each environment has a few applications that are really nice, and a few that are not so great. Once again though, Gnome gets the little things right in a way that KDE completely misses. None of KDE's applications are bad or broken, that's not what I'm saying. They function. But that's about it. To use an analogy: they passed the test, but they sure didn't get any where close to 100% on it.
|
||||
|
||||
Gnome on left, KDE on right. Dragon performs perfectly fine, it has clearly marked buttons for playing a file, URL, or a disc, just as you can do under Gnome Videos... but Gnome takes it one extra little step further in the name of convenience and user friendliness: they show all the videos detected under your system by default, without you having to do anything. KDE has Baloo-- just as they had Nepomuk before that-- why not use them? They've got a list video files that are freely accessible... but don't make use of the feature.
|
||||
|
||||
Moving on... Music Players.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Both of these applications, Rhythmbox on the left and Amarok on the right were opened up and then a screenshot was immediately taken, nothing was clicked, or altered. See the difference? Rhythmbox looks like a music player. It's direct, there's obvious ways to sort the results, it knows what is trying to be and what it's job is: to play music.
|
||||
|
||||
Amarok feels like one of the tech demos, or library demos where someone puts every option and extension they possible can all inside one application in order to show them off-- it's never something that gets shipped as production, it's just there to show off bits and pieces. And that's exactly what Amarok feels like: its someone trying to show off every single possible cool thing they shove into a media player without ever stopping to think "Wait, what were trying to write again? An app to play music?"
|
||||
|
||||
Just look at the default layout. What is front and center for the user? A visualizer and Wikipedia integration-- the largest and most prominent column on the page. What's the second largest? Playlist list. Third largest, aka smallest? The actual music listing. How on earth are these sane defaults for a core application?
|
||||
|
||||
Software Managers! Something that has seen a lot of push in recent years and will likely only see a bigger push in the months to come. Unfortunately, it's another area where KDE was so close... and then fell on its face right at the finish line.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Gnome Software is probably my new favorite software center, minus one gripe which I will get to in a bit. Muon, I wanted to like you. I really did. But you are a design nightmare. When the VDG was drawing up plans for you (mockup below), you looked pretty slick. Good use of white space, clean design, nice category listing, your whole not-being-split-into-two-applications.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Then someone got around to coding you and doing your actual UI, and I can only guess they were drunk while they did it.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at Gnome Software. What's smack dab in the middle? The application, its screenshots, its description, etc. What's smack dab in the middle of Muon? Gigantic waste of white space. Gnome Software also includes the lovely convenience feature of putting a "Launch" button right there in case you already have an application installed. Convenience and ease of use are important, people. Honestly, JUST having things in Muon be centered aligned would probably make things look better already.
|
||||
|
||||
What's along the top edge of Gnome Software, like a tab listing? All Software, Installed, Updates. Clean language, direct, to the point. Muon? Well, we have "Discover", which works okay as far as language goes, and then we have Installed, and then nothing. Where's updates?
|
||||
|
||||
Well.. the developers decided to split updates off into its own application, thus requiring you to open two applications to handle your software-- one to install it, and one to update it-- going against every Software Center paradigm that has ever existed since the Synaptic graphical package manager.
|
||||
|
||||
I'm not going to show it in a screenshot just because I don't want to have to clean up my system afterwards, but if you go into Muon and start installing something the way it shows that is by adding a little tab to the bottom of your screen with the application's name. That tab doesn't go away when the application is done installing either, so if you're installing a lot of applications at a single time then you'll just slowly accumulate tabs along the bottom that you then have to go through and clean up manually, because if you don't then they grow off the screen and you have to swipe through them all to get to the most recent ones. Think: opening 50 tabs in Firefox. Major annoyance, major inconvenience.
|
||||
|
||||
I did say I would bash on Gnome a bit, and I meant it. Muon does get one thing very right that Gnome Software doesn't. Under the settings bar Muon has an option for "Show Technical Packages" aka: compilers, software libraries, non-graphical applications, applications without AppData, etc. Gnome doesn't. If you want to install any of those you have to drop down to the terminal. I think that's wrong. I certainly understand wanting to push AppData but I think they pushed it too soon. What made me realize Gnome didn't have this setting was when I went to install PowerTop and couldn't get Gnome to display it-- no AppData, no "Show Technical Packages" setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Doubly unfortunate is the fact that you can't "just use apper" if you're under KDE since...
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Apper's support for installing local packages has been broken for since Fedora 19 or so, almost two years. I love the attention to detail and quality.

切换到上流的Breeve主题……突然间,我抱怨的大部分问题都被完善了。通用图标,所有东西都放在了屏幕中央,但不是那么重要的被放到了一边。因为屏幕顶部和底部都是同样的空白,在中间也就酝酿出了一种美好的和谐。还是有一个输入框来切换会话,但既然电源按钮被做成了通用图标,那么这点还算可以原谅。当然gnome还是有一些很好的附加物,例如音量小程序和可访问按钮,但Breeze总归是Fedora的KDE主题的一个进步。

|

到Windows(Windows 8和10之前)或者OS X中去,你会看到类似的东西——非常简洁的,“不挡你道”的锁屏与登录界面,它们都没有输入框或者其它分散视觉的小工具。这是一种有效的不分散人注意力的设计。Fedora……默认装有Breeze。VDG在Breeze主题设计上干得不错。可别糟蹋了它。

将GNOME作为我的Linux桌面的一周: 他们做对的与做错的 - 第三节 - GNOME应用
|
||||
================================================================================
|
||||
### 应用 ###
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
这是一个基本上一潭死水的地方。每一个桌面环境都有一些非常好的和不怎么样的应用。再次强调,Gnome把那些KDE完全错失的小细节给做对了。我不是想说KDE中有哪些应用不好。他们都能工作。但仅此而已。也就是说:它们合格了,但确实还没有达到甚至接近100分。
|
||||
|
||||
Gnome的在左边,KDE的在右边。Dragon运行得很好,清晰的标出了播放文件、URL或和光盘的按钮,正如你在Gnome Videos中能做到的一样……但是在便利的文件名和用户的友好度方面,Gnome多走了一小步。它默认显示了在你的电脑上检测到的所有影像文件,不需要你做任何事情。KDE有Baloo——正如之前有Nepomuk——为什么不使用它们?它们能列出可读取的影像文件……但却没被使用。
|
||||
|
||||
下一步……音乐播放器
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
这两个应用,左边的Rhythmbox和右边的Amarok,都是打开后没有做任何修改直接截屏的。看到差别了吗?Rhythmbox看起来像个音乐播放器,直接了当,排序文件的方法也很清晰,它知道它应该是什么样的,它的工作是什么:就是播放音乐。
|
||||
|
||||
Amarok感觉就像是某个人为了展示而把所有的扩展和选项都尽可能地塞进一个应用程序中去而做出来的一个技术演示产品(tech demos),或者一个库演示产品(library demos)——而这些是不应该做为产品装进去的,它只应该展示一些零碎的东西。而Amarok给人的感觉却是这样的:好像是某个人想把每一个感觉可能很酷的东西都塞进一个媒体播放器里,甚至都不停下来想“我想写啥来着?一个播放音乐的应用?”
|
||||
|
||||
看看默认布局就行了。前面和中心都呈现了什么?一个可视化工具和维基集成(wikipedia integration)——占了整个页面最大和最显眼的区域。第二大的呢?播放列表。第三大,同时也是最小的呢?真正的音乐列表。这种默认设置对于一个核心应用来说,怎么可能称得上理智?
|
||||
|
||||
软件管理器!它在最近几年当中有很大的进步,而且接下来的几个月中,很可能只能看到它更大的进步。不幸的是,这是另一个地方KDE做得差一点点就能……但还是在终点线前摔了脸。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Gnome软件中心可能是我最新的最爱,先放下牢骚等下再发。Muon, 我想爱上你,真的。但你就是个设计上的梦魇。当VDG给你画设计草稿时(模型在下面),你看起来真漂亮。白色空间用得很好,设计简洁,类别列表也很好,你的整个“不要分开做成两个应用程序”的设计都很不错。
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
接着就有人为你写代码,实现真正的UI,但是,我猜这些家伙当时一定是喝醉了。
|
||||
|
||||
我们来看看Gnome软件中心。正中间是什么?软件,软件截图和软件描述等等。Muon的正中心是什么?白白浪费的大块白色空间。Gnome软件中心还有一个贴心便利特点,那就是放了一个“运行“的按钮在那儿,以防你已经安装了这个软件。便利性和易用性很重要啊,大哥。说实话,仅仅让Muon把东西都居中对齐了可能看起来的效果都要好得多。
|
||||
|
||||
Gnome软件中心沿着顶部的东西是什么,像个标签列表?所有软件,已安装软件,软件升级。语言简洁,直接,直指要点。Muon,好吧,我们有个”发现“,这个语言表达上还算差强人意,然后我们又有一个”已安装软件“,然后,就没有然后了。软件升级哪去了?
|
||||
|
||||
好吧……开发者决定把升级独立分开成一个应用程序,这样你就得打开两个应用程序才能管理你的软件——一个用来安装,一个用来升级——自从有了新得立图形软件包管理器以来,首次有这种破天荒的设计,与任何已存的软件中心的设计范例相违背。
|
||||
|
||||
我不想贴上截图给你们看,因为我不想等下还得清理我的电脑,如果你进入Muon安装了什么,那么它就会在屏幕下方根据安装的应用名创建一个标签,所以如果你一次性安装很多软件的话,那么下面的标签数量就会慢慢的增长,然后你就不得不手动检查清除它们,因为如果你不这样做,当标签增长到超过屏幕显示时,你就不得不一个个找过去来才能找到最近正在安装的软件。想想:在火狐浏览器打开50个标签。太烦人,太不方便!
|
||||
|
||||
我说过我会给Gnome一点打击,我是认真的。Muon有一点做得比Gnome软件中心做得好。在Muon的设置栏下面有个“显示技术包”,即:编辑器,软件库,非图形应用程序,无AppData的应用等等(AppData,软件包中的一个特殊文件,用于专门存储软件的信息,译注)。Gnome则没有。如果你想安装其中任何一项你必须跑到终端操作。我想这是他们做得不对的一点。我完全理解他们推行AppData的心情,但我想他们太急了(推行所有软件包带有AppData,是Gnome软件中心的目标之一,译注)。我是在想安装PowerTop,而Gnome不显示这个软件时我才发现这点的——没有AppData,没有“显示技术包“设置。
|
||||
|
||||
更不幸的事实是你不能“用Apper就行了”,自从……
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Apper对安装本地软件包的支持大约在Fedora 19时就中止了,几乎两年了。我喜欢那种对细节与质量的关注。
