Hi all. We have a lot of "favorite" (ie. pinned to the sidebar in the overview) apps. The current list is: Firefox, Evolution, Empathy, Rhytmbox, Shotwell, LibreOffice Writer, Nautilus, Documents and Software.

On the live media we also have the installer launcher pinned on that list. I think this is too much. On small screens (laptops, vms) having so many launchers there causes their icons to be scaled down a lot. I understand the idea behind default favorites is "apps we want the user to try", but this is just too much. I don't think we should have more than 4 apps there. So, I suggest removing some items from that list, and have a much smaller one, what about: Firefox, Evolution, Nautilus, Documents, Software (and of course the installer when running on Live) Does this make more sense? If so, I'll submit a patch to make this change :)

I agree, but why not change these upstream instead? Epiphany->Firefox is a change that wouldn't make sense upstream, but the rest would. I might leave Empathy since it's tied in pretty closely with our integrated chat. -- desktop mailing list desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
