Re: [Ayatana] Where did the top folding go?

2011-03-08 Thread Phong Cao
I agree with you too. I especially feel awkward when I have six applications or so opening (and none of them is pinned to the launcher). These applications are all set in the bottom of the panel instead of the top, and they are all fold, making it difficult to access... I think Ubuntu developers ne

[Ayatana] Where did the top folding go?

Hello, I've been bugging Neil Patel about this on Twitter lately and would like to know what the rest of the team has to say. It seems that Unity has purposefully dropped the ability to fold icons on top and now only folds the bottom ones. Even after some weeks, I still think it's very awkward t

Ok so ive been thinking a lot about chat and empathy/telepathy is awesome but Shell is pulling away from unity in terms of how to best use it. At the moment we have the default empathy so we have the window and messaging menu system. While Shell has a special chat notifier that you can see the cha

Ill reply to this entire thread with a counter idea. How about removing the other two buttons and just having the ubuntu button in the left hand corner. Myself in practice I clicked on the ubuntu button and searched for the thing I wanted to do and since the search is good I got to the app or file

Perhaps a better way would be for the VM software to have edge resistance within the VM area. That way you can still move the mouse out of the VM without pressing key combos. On Tue, Mar 8, 2011 at 11:57 AM, Scott Ritchie wrote: > The global menu is based on the assumption that it's easier to hit

[Ayatana] Global menu really frustrating in virtual machines

2011-03-08 Thread Scott Ritchie
The global menu is based on the assumption that it's easier to hit the corner of the screen than it is to hit the edge of the active window. This breaks down, however, when the mouse doesn't actually stop at the corner of the screen, which is exactly the case in virtual machines that integrate wit
