Hello ayatana Love using unity, really clean and straightforward. It opens up lot of possibilities. Obvious one, to me at least, is opportunity to include/integrate a gadget/widget desktop thingy. They can be useful, pretty and are present in those two major "modern" desktops. I would suggest usi

when I have several windows open, I find the overview is useless. The thumbnails are too small for me to be able to tell what window it is, especially when I'm dealing with multiple windows from Writer or Nautilus for example. Plus, there being no Icon associated with the window, sometimes I c

When I press F10 the FILE menu always opens. Even if no applications are open (i.e., all I see is the desktop), there is a File menu that lets me create a new folder, etc. If an application is open, like Firefox, this has a large Application Menu and means much scrubbing to get to the Indicator

Is it really necessary to indicate which windows are hidden? I mean if you cannot see it you can assume that it's hidden or somewhere else. Even if it is hidden, it can still be accessed with alt+tab or super+("S" is it? I'm not on a Ubuntu machine at the moment) so there is a minimal practical dif

I think it would be a shame to desaturate the applications which aren't running at all times. If you have the launcher set to always visible and only one application running then it would look dark and boring, don't you think?
