When setting a show to record, Ubuntu should identify whether more than 5 minutes of the programme has been already broadcast. If this is the case it should start recording immediately, but also offer the user the option to have Ubuntu automatically replace the incomplete recording with a full o

[Ubuntu-tv] Rating a show/film

At any point during a show/film, the user should be able to rate it easily by selecting the relevant option from a context menu and hitting the appropriate number (1-5) on their remote. Further, at the end of shows a small box should appear at the bottom of the screen (small being appropriate fo

[Ubuntu-tv] Suggestion Highlighting

Basically, when viewing the TV guide or other services where a list of programmes are available, suggestions are lightly highlighted. This would have to be a balance between being noticeable and distracting. My idea is that suggestions in the guide are slightly lighter (more white) and slight

Re: [Ayatana] Global Menu mockups for Unity

Couldn't you solve the draggable area problem by allowing users to move the window by dragging from anywhere on the title bar, including a menu item. Menus could show on release to prevent them from showing when a user drags the window. Matt On 07/12/11 17:07, Dylan McCall wrote: On Wed, Dec

Re: [Ayatana] List windows on hover

Perhaps it could show the scale preview of the windows (as currently shown on double click) when hovering for half a second. Personally I find the window previews on Windows 7 to be too small. They obviously felt this too as they introduced the feature where if you hover over a window preview,

[Ayatana] More information in indicator menus

Recently Ian Santopietro made some mockups for how Unity might look on a phone or a desktop. I love the way his phone indicators look and the amount of information they show and I think we should migrate them to the desktop. I have done a mockup below to show how they would display: Mockup

Re: [Ayatana] Serious issues

Another potential would be to prevent windows from occupying the left-most 5px-10px of the screen. The Firefox back button is a stickler for this launcher behaviour, but try resizing it so that it is almost maximised, except leave a small space on the left hand side. This really helps to preven

Another place to perhaps search for ideas for implementation would be the Compiz "Group and Tab Windows" plugin available from the "compiz-fusion-plugins-extra" package* * On 01/11/11 12:53, Evan Huus wrote: On Tue, Nov 1, 2011 at 5:56 AM, Thorsten Wilms wrote: Hi! Workspaces --

Re: [Ayatana] Proposal: make menus more accessible with shift+F10 for mouse pointer teleport.

That works well. It's fairly intuitive and can be easily completed using 1 hand. Perhaps a little awkward for left handed people? Ctrl + ` for left handed people? On 30/10/11 16:33, Jo-Erlend Schinstad wrote: Den 30. okt. 2011 17:30, skrev Chow Loong Jin: On 31/10/2011 00:25, Jo-Erlend Schins

Re: [Ayatana] semi-transparent indicator menus

Trouble is that alpha and blur on window title bars could become very heavy when working with multiple non-maximised windows. On 30/10/11 10:01, frederik.nn...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Oct 30, 2011 at 10:17, Matt Richardson <mailto:m.richardson.1...@hotmail.co.uk>> wrote: I
