The idea of moving the BFB to the bottom left has been raised a few times and it has certain advantages: 1. It's where users migrating from windows will expect it to be 2. As Stefanos said, it allows us to use screen corners for BFB, window controls and panel menus. However, a major advantage of

Oops, I have to correct myself with the last part there: PS: Note that it seems like the mockup for "autohide Launcher and un-maximized window" seems to be missing but the proposed behavior is exactly like the proposed behavior here: http://i54.tinypic.com/qzm2l0.png So, essentially, the applicati

Thank you for your comments! I too hope the design team will consider this for 12.04, even if it's not accepted as it is... @Stefanos I know what you're saying about the maximized-window control buttons, and the problem is partly because they're hidden when cursor is not on top panel. I cannot see

Hi all, I'd like to propose some changes to Unity, in particular to the Launcher and left of the top panel. I understand that UI is frozen for 11.10, and I hope at least that the decision makers will take this proposal seriously and make a note of it (as I may not be around when time comes for futu
