Re: [evince] the menu bar is gone

[Xavier Guillot <Valeryan_24 laposte net>]

Hello,

I agree with Ernest, personnally this new presentation of the buttons 
and the top menus missing is a big regression in term of user experience 
and interface.

Of course it matches the Gnome guidelines and is well adapted to Gnome 
Shell desktop.

But Gnome is not the only one where Evince is frequently used, there is 
also Ubuntu.

Anyway, you like or not this OS, but Ubuntu is one of the major Linux 
distributions and has a large market share among them.

And this presentation is in complete discordance with the whole Unity 
desktop organization.

- No more menus at the top : no global menu and no Hud available in 
Unity - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/HUD

- The buttons which group all the commands are on the top right, but on 
Unity all the important things and the buttons to close / maximize 
windows are on the left, so no more uniform behavior with all the 
applications...

Theme (dark color of the bars) has been updated to conform to Ambiance 
default in Ubuntu, but the problem of these buttons remain. It is the 
same as Nautilus. I don't know if in the future all Gnome applications 
will have the same UI (it is also like browser Chrome), but this is not 
nice for the users. Essentially for this reason I moved to Okular for 
the moment.

Of course, we know Ubuntu and Gnome will become more and more different 
and there will be less Gnome default programs in the future on Ubuntu 
with Unity, QT and Mir integration, and of course you are all 
volunteers, developping a very great opensource software, so this is 
absolutely not a criticism nor a feature request, but just an 
observation from an Ubuntu user who has now difficulties to use Evince 
daily.

Best regards,

Xavier Guillot
