Re: [Ayatana] Do Not Disturb vs Indicator Session

I like the idea of buffering (at least to a point) so the user can catch up later. I think the biggest problem to solve for "Silent Mode setup dialog" is how to populate it. Seems notifications can come and go based on users installing and uninstalling applications. Also I *really* use the "Inhibi

For ease of use (Fitt's Law) and semantic consistency, i would only suggest to keep shape, position and size of the Ubuntu button on the top left corner of the screen the same on all pages featuring it. Thx for the great work! I like the way the colors are, only thing i noticed was the green color

I think everyone is going to have a personally preferred position, but maintaining a default association with the 'me menu' is probably a good thing. However, as Dani notes, this can get in the way - especially considering that many apps, especially on the graphics sides of things, have their toolb

I think somewhere in the NotifyOSD guidelines (can't find now), there was the idea that moving a bubble (and therefore the entire text it contains) is annoying for the user, so your mockup is not taking into account the case where a notification grows, because this would involve moving the bubble

Hi, I wanted to talk about the new unity interface and OSD notifications. Until now the upper right side was chosen for the notifications because it was the least intrusive to the user and the window app. but now there are many more indicators and possible windicators in the future. therefore it

The same title bar that formerly used double click to toggle maximize? Do away with it if you like, but IMHO changing the semantics that have been in use for 20+ years, especially to something as final as close, is just asking for trouble. On Sep 14, 2010 9:59 PM, "David Hamm" wrote: Today I not
