I did not realize this was an Ubuntu customization. In August 2008 I considered and rejected the design Ubuntu is using now <https://live.gnome.org/SystemSettings?action=AttachFile&do=view&target=sketches-p1.jpg> ("current category is swamped by surrounding stuff"), and I worked out a design that would not have the same problems.
I've explained it in more detail in <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643322#c9>, but in short: Back and Forward buttons would make the "All Settings" button more obviously a Home button (and would be more useful as cross-references between panels increase). And showing the panel title under the "System Settings" title would make it more obvious where "All Settings" goes to. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #643322 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643322 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/952889 Title: In every panel, System Settings contains a button that does nothing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/952889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
