Any chance of removing the massive ‘ubuntu tweak’ banner from the main window? How does it aid usability?

—————-

I like the banner – don’t remove it. However you may want to make it just a little bit smaller. Otherwise good job- keep up the great work.

Just a note, the latest version doesn’t work in xubuntu (8.04), I tried removing the CairoDraw class from Widgets.py and now it fails with the following error:

I partially have to agree with Ketil. The focus of the application was tweaking user settings, which I think is pretty useful for Ubuntu beginners or those that would rather use GUI. Therefore, I think that it would be more beneficial if you focus on that.

However, I’d definitely still recommend this application for Ubuntu beginners that I know (not a whole lot though). I still think that it is a pretty cool app.

Good job.

I think you should decide what you want this app to do. Right now, it seems to be headed for major bloat.

If you link up [enabling who-knows-what-PPAs] with [what Gtweakui does and some related stuff], you might as well support all config options in all applications in Ubuntu repos.

I think you should stick to tweaking user settings, not adding repos. That is Synaptic’s job.
PPAs are not safe, they are just hosted on Launchpad. Period.

I’m sorry to say, I can not encourage people I know to take advantage of this application anymore. It is just getting out of hand.

Recently I’ve been having problems with the latest version on 4 different computers. When I go to the third party applications and try to unlock. I enter the password and it freezes up there. I can proceed no further and must force close U-T. When I first installed the program, it worked fine. Now adding 3rd party repos is broke. Advice please…
