For me this is partially not an alternative. The extension idea is great but the button design must be revamped since it's a function integrated so deeply into the shell and not "just" a launcher and therefore it must be separated from the regular launchers. I have an idea for this I will sketch up a mockup for in the near future. I understand that by "design" you may very well have meant purely the function and not the aesthetics but I just wanted to emphasize this :) The launcher context menu is a great idea but please explain the hot corners further since I'm not an avid OS X user. 2011/5/20 Ed Lin <edlin...@gmail.com> > > 2011/5/20 Mehdi Fattahi <mah....@gmail.com> > >> > >> Some people are more comfortable using the mouse.
