Hi all,
Here's this week's bug bear of mine:

I believe that branding should be present whenever the GNOME Panel is
present, but it shouldn't be welded to "Applications" on the Main Menu
applet. Branding is just that important for a default GNOME setup.
The thing with the Panel is, applets should work in harmony. We should

Here is yet another discussion on resizing windows, this time driven
by status bars!
MacOS has a similar situation to us, with very narrow window borders.
In its case, they don't even _try_ to offer resizing by the window
edge. (The idea being, I suppose, that any control less than five
pixels in

I can see how the distro icon might not relate to the applications menu...
so why not change the icon to the face of whoever has the most commits?
Maybe update it monthly? They shall be the sun light of inspiration. I like
to think of the left and right top corners as the sun and the moon.

I'm not sure what "cool maximize behaviour" you're referring to.
As far as the mockup, please make it possible to resize windows from more than
just the bottom right corner.
Obvious comparisons to Mac OS aside (of which there are too many with Ubuntu's
recent directions). Only being able to res

My understanding is that you're still *able* to resize from any of the
borders as you are now, but we add a drag handle to make it *easier*. It

I believe he was referring to the maximize behavior which does not max to
screen space, but rather, to the size needed to see all of the content of the

I'll match your quote, "This is what I imagine purgatory to be. A vortex of

Sounds good. Now, I want to test that and see how it will work on my desktop

One of the neat things about cardapio is its ability to be resized. Perhaps
this could solve both problems of being to large or small. After stretching
to a certain size the icons enlarge and a lock (desktop) icon could appear.
On the other end, shrinking it past the minimum icon size limit would b
