Deepin 2014.1 Users’ Feedback Summary (Oct. 29, 2014)

It has been a period of time since Deepin 2014.1 was released. In this version, we focused on improving the stability of the system. We have got the approval of most users and have also received the feedback from many users. Now we’ll mainly give a reply to the users’ feedback on the design of Deepin system.

Dock

Q: The height of the panel of Dock under the Efficient Mode is a little high.

A: This has been a comparatively appropriate height. If some friends think it is too high, they can choose the Classical Mode.

Q: The icons are too small in Dock under the Classical Mode.

A: The display effect will be improved after icons under the Classical Mode are changed into icons of other shapes. We will provide icons of a brand-new style in Deepin 2014.2.

Q: I suggest you newly add day-month-year or week in Dock.

A: Sorry. We hope to keep Dock simple. There will only be the display of Sunday. For more information, please see the system setting.

Q: I hope the reminder of network status can be added to Dock.

A: The kind of exclamatory marks in Windows just make the average users confused, and we will not do that kind of designs. The network is supposed to be designed well automatically, and then the users need not think. The network shouldn’t confuse users from the technical angle.

Q: The system-level trays can not be moved when Dock is in Fashionable Mode.

A: We set it like this, mainly to prevent users from mixing up tray icons and application icons, and also to prevent the position of Dock from becoming chaotic when the applications start and icons are inserted.

Q: There is no change in the icon theme in Dock after the system icon theme is changed.

A: The feature of changing icons in Dock will be provided in the version of 2014.3. It’s not provided now because there are no icons of Deepin software in other themes.

Q: I hope the switcher of the virtual desktop can be added in Dock.

A: Switching virtual desktops will be individually designed in the Hotspot, but will not be put on Dock to be shown because that’s neither beautiful nor practical.

 

Desktop

Q: I suggest that the "refresh" feature be added to right clicking the desktop.

A: We will not add it because this feature is not meaningful.

Q: The default wallpapers are not beautiful.

A: This is really that people have different likes and dislikes. We have no way to make everyone like our default wallpapers.

 

Login Manager

Q: Reminder of case sensitivity is needed when we enter the password to start the computer and log in and unlock the computer.

A: This will be added in Deepin 2014.2 version.

 

Themes and Special Effects

Q: System icons are not beautiful enough, having low degree of recognition.

A: There will be brand-new icons in Deepin 2014.2.

Q: When Dock is switched into the Efficient Mode and the Classical Mode, the computer icons newly added on the desktop are not beautiful.

A: There will be new icons.

Q: I suggest that the sound effect be added for the overall system.

A: This can be fastest realized until Deepin 2014.3.

Q: Fonts are not displayed clearly.  

A: This has been improved in Deepin 2014.2.

Q: I hope the function of setting special effects can be newly added.

A: We will not provide it at present.
