Public bug reported: (I've recently upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 16.04)
Test case: 1) Open image in eog. 2) Move mouse pointer around 3) Frustrating and useless hint overlays for nativation prev/next and rotate cw/ccw keep appearing and disappearing and clutter up my view of the image I'm trying to enjoy. I have three suggestions: 1) Remove them from code entirely. I has worked perfectly without them for ages. 2) Make an option to disable them completely. 3) Concentrate all overlay buttons to a block and place it at bottom center (where rotation are now) to make them more user friendly; it's annoying to have to move the mouse across the entire screen to navigate forth/back. But this is just an extra tip, because I basically believe that this feature should be killed all together. What I really used to like about EOG was its simplicity. It shows me my image and nothing more! Nobody wants clutter -- especially clutter they cannot disable. ** Affects: eog (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1612618 Title: Eog overlays for navigation and rotation are cluttering the image begin displayed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/1612618/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
