Functionally? The current design works. Well, Gnome 2 just worked too,
right? So, why is there Unity, again? To make it "better", right? OK.
The problem is that there is no "unity" in Unity. The Launcher (and
the Dash) and the top panel are just too disparate. They look and work
like they don't bel
Well, what can I say, I'm extremely surprised that "there is nothing
to be fixed" is your (or whoever's) conclusion and I respectfully
disagree. I guess I'll leave you with your content for now and be back
when you find what's wrong and are looking for new ideas...

I understand your proposal. I think the behavior is too complex. There are
too many conditions regard when to show the launcher and when to show the
window buttons that it's too confusing for many users. It also doesn't make
the Ubuntu button any easier to access, since you still need to aim (for t
No, the item is clickable. When you click on it, it's the same as if you had
left clicked on the icon. This is in Unity 3D though, and I see you're in
Unity 2D. I'm not sure what the behavior there is.

But with the current design, since window controls are at the corner, when I
make the launcher always visible, it looks very inconsistent. Window
controls look like they're part of the launcher... At least, when the
launcher is always visible, the Ubuntu button should extend to the top left
corner.
Ian,
There may be many if's to describe a use cases but it does not mean
the design is inconsistent, or complex to use. Please pay attention to
what I'm describing with those if's. They're only for the
implementation of the design, not for the user to memorize. There is
nothing to learn for the use
I thought that the top actions do things in the application while the bottom
actions do things in Unity or the System. Clicking on the application name
is the same as clicking on the icon itself.

No, I don't think it would. It may provide a workaround, but there are too
many if's, which could be inconsistent if the user doesn't know exactly what
they're doing. I think if the actions of the dash and launcher can't be
explained in one paragraph, then it's too complex.

Ian,
Do you think my proposal in the previous message could address those issues?
I think it would but I'm no expert...

Because the window controls should have gone in the corner, and the
Usability testing did show that people were clicking on the top icon in the
launcher to try and open the dash.

OK, sorry, I got it wrong it seems. But then, why oh why did the
Ubuntu button have to leave the top left corner? If it did not look
like a button, then make it like a button, not displace it. The OP
includes a very good mockup for example:

I really (really) think it's a very good idea. Lot of people (geeks and
noobs) uses exclusively webmails (Gmail, Hotmail ...), it would be great to
be notified using notify OSD / indicators / launcher. I really think it's a
great idea.
+1 from me too.

Hi,
In Unity, one of the things I'm not very happy with, is the need on the same
time to have two different ways of interaction:
1. The unity bar on left which is touch friendly
2. The menu bar (top bar) on the screen, which is better to be used with the
mouse.
IMHO, sliding screen edges can be
I love it. I can think of quite a few people who only wish to surf the net,
this would be ideal for people like that. I also think it would be ideal for
thin client based tablets that would work in a corporate, commercial and
educational arena. In such situations it may require some form of lockdow
