PowerUserTool

Revision 5 as of 2011-05-22 11:08:48

Clear message

Intro

The main idea is to build a multi purpose tool where the power users can find any option to tweak and fine tune their system. If you want to know more, the following links try to resume the history of this idea:

General Principles

  • The Tool must be a safe tool ("Building Safety Into Our Work")

  • The Tool must be able to bring the users to previous/safe configuration when something goes wrong

General Features

Safety

  • Undo last change
    • When possible apply the changes and ask the user if keeping it or not. (just like X when changing resolution)
  • Restore to previous configuration (or to a specific date)
  • Restore to default settings (making a backup at the first run)

Sections

Any section can be seen as a stand-alone plugin. Anyway in this page we'll focus on features and not in the software architecture

Unity

  • Launcher/Dash background Color and Alpha
  • Icon size
  • ...

GNOME

Compiz

KDE

Source center

  • Having the Ubuntu Tweak "Source Center" (untrusted PPAs) into a standalone plug-in (or community extensions), which is not installed by default but user can always install it. So Ubuntu Tweak is possible to put into the official repository.
