I wanted to talk about the features to be added in wingpanel for L+1. the blueprints that i have in mind are. 1. Hide on Maximize<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/wingpanel/+spec/hide-on-maximize> 2. Branch Ayatana<https://blueprints.launchpad.net/wingpanel/+spec/branch-ayatana>
*Hide on maximize* is easy. we just have to add a d-bus signal to gala which will be triggered when a window is maximized, wingpanel will connect to this signal when launched and whenever an event is triggered wingpanel will hide. for hiding i was thinking of using clutter animations or something similar. *Branch Ayatana*: this was discussed earlier but no decision was made, we could use libpeas to make indicators as plugins. This is easy and good reliable indicator/plugins can be made but this creates problems for applications that want to show indicators, as for wingpanel to show an indicator a plug would have to be made and it would need to enabled from dconf. There are many ways to solve this problem. 1. use two libraries. one for system indicators and one for app indicators 2. use something similar to switchboard's plugins system. 3. don't allow application indicators. (which i think gnome follows) please tell me your opinion and suggestions guys. voldyman
