[11:21] <greyback> dandrader: I will, but will leave nick with the removeUselessClass review
[13:19] <dandrader> greyback, testing lp:~dandrader/qtmir/appRestart-lp1527737 on desktop now, it looks like it needs a bit more work. putting it to WIP
[13:19] <greyback> dandrader: ack
[13:20] <greyback> was just testing on phone, will postpone
[13:59] <kgunn> Saviq: i see a few unity8 landings, what's the thinking on order of those? like silo8...next or after others
[15:59] <dandrader> greyback, https://code.launchpad.net/~dandrader/qtmir/appRestart-lp1527737/+merge/281701 is back to "Needs Review"
[15:59] <greyback> ack
[18:04] <alexarnaud> hi all!
[18:04] <alexarnaud> Are there Unity 8 developper here ?
[18:11] <davmor2> alexarnaud: ask your question anyone that can help will answer
[18:17] <alexarnaud> davmor2: OK
[18:17] <alexarnaud> is it possible to change WM in Unity 8 ?
[18:17] <alexarnaud> Where can I find detailled technical information about Unity 8 ?
[18:18] <alexarnaud> I've read that this morning : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnityNextSpec
[18:18] <greyback> alexarnaud: no, unity8/mir is not designed like X, where the xserver runs, and a WM process is a 'special' client which manages windows.
[18:18] <greyback> instead unity8/mir is a single process, and the window management policy will mostly live in mir
[18:19] <alexarnaud> greyback: OK, I understand
[18:19] <greyback> alexarnaud: there isn't a huge amount of documentation aside from code doc, what would you like to know?
[18:20] <alexarnaud> greyback: How events work ?
[18:20] <alexarnaud> Do Unity plan to integrate accessibibility layer ?
[18:21] <alexarnaud> Are there any API documentation of the WM/MIR to create or test POC of Magnifier maybe ?
[18:21] <greyback> alexarnaud: events are read from the kernel via mir (which uses libinput), and passed to unity8 (which is written in Qt/QML)
[18:21] <greyback> alexarnaud: we do intend to add a11y, hopefully soon
[18:22] <alexarnaud> greyback: accessibility for desktop ?
[18:22] <greyback> alexarnaud: for touch & desktop ultimately
[18:22] <greyback> it's on the roadmap anyway
[18:22] <alexarnaud> good news :)
[18:23] <alexarnaud> greyback: so the issue I see is all the work do in Compiz for zoom feature are lost in Unity because no intorroperability
[18:23] <greyback> alexarnaud: a magnifier app will not be possible currently, as mir prevents apps from accessing visuals of shell or other apps. So for magnifier, we'll have to do something custom
[18:24] <alexarnaud> greyback: OK, it's was I've understood
[18:25] <alexarnaud> greyback: if you need test you can contact me
[18:25] <greyback> alexarnaud: noted, thank you
[18:27] <alexarnaud> greyback: thanks for providing me information
[18:27] <greyback> alexarnaud: no prob. I hope we get to work on this soon
[21:50] <b1rdd0g> Hi! I just read that the Unity Launcher is supposed to hide until the cursor moves to the left of screen. Mine shows all the time. Where is this behavior controlled?
[22:05] <b1rdd0g> Nevermind--I found it: Dash-->System Settings-->Appearance:Behavior
