Nice timing I did a post on ubuntu planet about workspaces and had some opinions on it http://shanefagan.com/opening-applications-on-different-workspaces/
TBH I think we can do some nice stuff with workspaces if we think hard about it. The issue is we need to be very careful since they are already a bit un-needed so we need to think of useful good things to do with them or we need to remove them if we cant think of good ways to use them. --fagan On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 6:49 AM, Bazon <bazonbl...@arcor.de> wrote: > hello, i'm new to this list. > see (*) below why i came here. > > i have a few comments on window and workspace management in unity: > > 1. selecting windows > when you have multiple windows of one application, clicking its icon in the > launcher gets you an graphic overview of all windows of this application. > selecting the right window can be quite hard like that: it's easy when you > have several images, but when you have several text documents, it's really > hard to distinguish them: everything is zoomed much smaller! selecting one > such window was much easier by window-title in the task bar. > so i propose: > just don't zoom the window title. or maybe make a bubble for each window in > which you can read the title. > > 2. workspace management > i'm used to work on six workspaces and doing that, i don't like to be > distracted by things going on on the other workspaces. in gnome or with > cairo dock (as an option), that was easy: one just can see representations > of the windows on the active workspace in the taskbar / in the dock. > with unity, that seems to be not possible: the launcher shows > representations of ALL windows on ALL workspaces. plus the launcher bar can > get overfilled, so you have to scroll...
