Hello, I've been bugging Neil Patel about this on Twitter lately and would like to know what the rest of the team has to say.
It seems that Unity has purposefully dropped the ability to fold icons on top and now only folds the bottom ones. Even after some weeks, I still think it's very awkward to use because it feels like a scrollbar that always returns to the top when you leave it: an icon folded at the bottom will always re-fold even though it was the last icon clicked. This kinda goes against muscle memory and gives an unbalanced distribution of importance among the icons: the top ones are always faster to access. At least for me, it is very common for the workflow to be focused on the more recently opened windows, which are precisely the bottom ones. Neil mentioned possibilities of making the active window icon more noticeable even when it's in the folded area. This would be nice, but the unbalance would still be there. What was, after all, the reasoning for removing top folding? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
