Re: [Ayatana] HUD

+1 for keyboard only control, the whole concept makes no sense without that. However, the issues with finding the "insert manual brake..." command may be because in this instance it is "break" not "brake" That highlights another issue though. What happens when the user misspells words? should w

[Ayatana] HUD result highlighting

I LOVE the new HUD idea but after watching the video, one thought occurs. At the moment, exact matches for the search string are shown in bold to highlight their occurrence. IMO the final part of the result string (the actual name of the option being used) should follow this 'exact match' highli

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

[Ayatana] Dash "More Apps" and "Find Files" options are redundant

With the inclusion of the Applications and Files lenses in the dash, the two buttons "More Apps" and "Find Files" on the initial view of the dash are somewhat redundant. Perhaps a better use of these buttons would be "Office Apps" and "Settings", with each behaving similar to the "Media Apps"
