[Ayatana] create a keyboard shortcut for hiding/unhiding the Launcher?

2011-04-01 Thread nick rundy
Has this been considered? Seems it would be helpful for keyboard oriented folks to be able to hide/unhide the launcher via a keyboard shortcut. I can see this being used a lot in combination with the maximize-window command ctrl + alt + zero (especially on small displayed netbooks).

If it's set to autohide in CCSM, you can get it to pop up again by hitting the Super key. (Windows Key). Is that what you're talking about? Cheers, James Gifford http://jamesrgifford.com On Apr 1, 2011, at 8:03, nick rundy wrote: > Has this been considered? Seems it would be helpful for keybo

I'm not aware of anything like that. And in my experience (as a Netbook user), it's easier and better to run everything fullscreen - on a 10" Netbook, there's not much space. So my Natty launcher is on autohide. Cheers, James Gifford http://jamesrgifford.com On Apr 1, 2011, at 8:59, nick ru

[Ayatana] Is the Minimize window-button really needed?

2011-04-01 Thread nick rundy
How do you guys feel about the idea of omitting the Minimize window-button? Especially for maximized windows, the panel has a lot going on and I'm thinking maybe it would be better to display just the Close and Maximize buttons. After all, the user can simply click the Launcher Icon to "minimiz

I'll sum it up in a few words. The removal of the minimize button is one of the most ridiculous things the Gnome3 team has done yet. While users have other ways to minimize the window, the "minimize" button still remains by far the most obvious. I think one of the potential pitfalls of Unity

Maybe it works for GNOME, but nor for us. We still have a place for windows to minimize to. Plus, that's the only apparent way to minimize windows ATM. Clicking on the launcher doesn't do it. And, from an aesthetic standpoint, having three items on the window bass better visual balance. On Apr 1,
