Anyone know why #GNOME exposes a list of applications on the lock screen?
It’s not even the correct list of running applications, you can’t do anything with them, and I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this design decision at all.
@aral aren't these your notifications?
@farshidhakimy Ah, is that what they are? Given they provide no information and you can’t do anything with them, I’d always assumed is was a list of your running applications until I realised they don’t match that list.
My question remains :)
@aral @farshidhakimy I like knowing when a shell program finished or someone wrote even if my computer is locked, I can imagine the designers agree
perhaps it should only list new notifications tho, the screenshot ones feel… dumb
@aral @farshidhakimy I think this is what happens if you tell it to show notifications on the lockscreen, but not the notifications' content, which is a privacy setting, I believe.
@fell @farshidhakimy Yeah… it’s basically visual noise.
@fell @farshidhakimy I get the latter. But without the latter they’re basically useless so why are they there (much less by default?) :)
@aral @fell @farshidhakimy I think for privacy they done expose the notification content, only the event. Iirc buried deep inside the settings there is an option to display the contents. Not sure though. Sadly, gnome design was taken over by rather uninspired fruit-aspiring designers around the time the elementary fad started.
@aral @farshidhakimy I don't know either. I never want notifications on my lock screen anyway on amy OS. Heck, I don't even use a lock screen but that's a different story.
