Sonny,
The 3-D effect is actually kind of jarring. Using that daily would
probably cause some frustration.
Personally, I'm a fan of minimal animation... and when it does exist,
for it to be fast and visually meaningful.
I agree. Ever tried to use the current 3.X skin on a tablet like a
Galaxy Tab 10.1? It's slow.
I'm personally not a big fan of all the fancy UI stuff, it makes stuff
much harder to navigate through.
Tablets are becoming more and more used, admins and users will use those
to do basic stuff like stopping and starting instances or checking the
health of their cloud.
Yes, we could make apps, but this basic stuff should also work through a
regular webbrowser.
I know this is a preview, but on my 8-core 3.6Ghz desktop with Firefox
12 it works sluggish.
I'd vote for keeping all the fancy stuff away or making it optional.

I personally would like it if the navigation would just slide out. The 3d stuff although
is "cool", doesn't seem to add anything useful in terms of UX. In fact, I
would argue it makes it slightly less useful because the text become blurry.
Also, I assume this required HTML5 and building something like this prevents
users of older browsers the ability to use this unless you plan on having
supporting multiple navigation models.

Subject: UI: Navigation concept
Hello All,
In an effort to gain more screen real estate, a few front-end developers and I
have been playing around with changing the navigation and are researching
a few things like max and min width in the css. Below is a link to a sample of
a "3d cubed" based navigation. Would love to hear thoughts regarding this
idea. We are still working on some of the more requested items in the
feedback(too many clicks, easier accessibility, etc...) but are taking things
step by step.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thanks You and Best Regards,
