[Ayatana] Help button needs to be more prominent
Because Unity is a new user interface and Ubuntu is trying to reach out to new users, it is very important that users can get help when they need it. Unity ships with good user interface documentation, much of which comes from the massive GNOME 3 documentation rewrite and is significantly better than what shipped in Ubuntu 10.10 and earlier. Previous Ubuntu releases had Help as one of the very few default launcher items in the panel. It's a regression that Help is not also bookmarked in the Unity interface. User Interface Freeze is coming up this week. Could someone please make a decision on bug 778289? http://pad.lv/778289 Jeremy Bicha ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ayatana] Use bottom-left corner to immediately display the launcher.
With 11.10, the window close button has been placed in the upper right corner and so that corner can't be used to immediately display the launcher. But the bottom-left corner isn't used for anything, and is just as easy to hit. Just a thought.

I agree that that might be useful, although since the launcher icons are automatically placed at the top, it wouldn't be quite the same. I don't see why the top left corner can't still be used for quick-display though. The close buttons don't have any hover event that would really conflict. This reminded me of a similar/related question: what's happened to launcher notifications for Oneiric? In Natty the bfb would get a blue corner-highlight, but with the bfb hidden with the rest of the launcher now, that doesn't work. (I don't use any programs that regularly generate notifications, so there might already be a solution in place that I haven't seen yet - this is more curiosity than concern). Whatever happens to the notifications, I would like to see quick-launch brought back in some form, as it was very useful in Natty.
