b544631: Remove the scroll bar knobs and corresponding setting
9a31eef: Appearance preflet is not resizable, make it official
Very bad that many things happen without public discussion. I would like
to have the ability to turn the knobs optional. This is a real BeOS-way.
What do you mean without public discussion? All communication regarding
this has been public. To remove the scroll bar settings was decided in a
public discussion, just a very long time ago. John was not aware of it
and enabled this feature again. Axel complains that he does so without
public discussion. He acts on this complaint and removes the feature
again. Now you complain that he does so without public discussion. In
fact every thing about this has been public. Just a matter of different
people taking action before or after or right in the middle of the
public discussion. Not actually a big deal. This "there is stuff going
on behind closed doors" attitude that somehow won't go away is what's
really annoying. What Axel said is just Axel's oppinion. You can add you
own, but please don't do so with hints at the "in-group" which doesn't
actually exist... it's silly, really.
I see only two ways to look at this: Either you were late in voicing
your oppinion, or John was early in acting on Axel's oppinion, but
really, nothing else is going on. And it's not like the revert-commit
can't be reverted itself.
To contribute to the actual discussion, I also think that this feature
is rather useless and misplaced. I've done a lot of ground work for
proper theming support with BControlLook. If people want that so badly,
just continue to work on that and finish proper theming support. Not
bloat the Appearance preflet with options. Next we have another
checkmark for whether all buttons should have round corners or only
some. It's really not the way to implement this. Which is not saying
that theming is bad and should not be supported. Hopefully you can see
the difference, too.
Best regards,
-Stephan
