Hi James,
I don't think the orientation of English language is a valid reason to
keep the Ubuntu button on the top left.
I think the focus should be about assigning functional attribute to
each screen corner so the user can aim to a particular corner with a
certain purpose. System related functions
Hi Stefanos,
I know the orientation of icons seem off at first sight but if you
think about it in action, you would wanna see the icons close to your
mouse when you aimed at bottom left to activate the Launcher.
Otherwise it would be too much mouse motion and it would not fully
serve the purpose of
I totally agree that the Launcher edge alignment should be user
configurable but with the Ubuntu icon (and Dash) on the top left, I
don't see how it can be possible.
Please see my proposal which makes this very possible:

So, what's going to happen to the window controls? Is this proposing removal
of them? If not, how's the whole thing going to work?

The current design is justified by the motivation to move the window
control buttons to the top left.
Apparently, the usability tests for 11.04 design showed that the
window controls are better on the top left, so they moved the Ubuntu
button out of that location.

What bothers me is the lack of a "throw-the pointer-to-reveal-Dash"

I have to say, I _love_ the application button idea on the corner! The
thing is, it should be confined within the titlebar limits. Think
about vertically (or horizontally ) maximizing the window, or just
tiling it to one side of the screen...

I completely agree. Having the window control buttons for the Dash
doesn't make sense at all. 11.04 got it right.

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

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

title is pushed to the right when the Launcher is revealed.

I think we need a theme configuration tool to mix and match themes.
Currently, we only have a theme selector. I'm baffled with the fact that
GNOME dev's have no plans for any kind of theme selection/configuration
tool...

I think this was the best suggestion on this so far. It would add a
missing feature to Unity and bring more unity to Ubuntu desktop.

It may sound off-topic, but it's related I think: Up until Beta 2 was

I agree. Ctrl+Alt+Del should bring a small overlay window with several
items in it, and the user should be able to move the focus in there with
cursor keys. I believe that would be the best implementation. Then, all

Completely agreed with you there. Asking for that certain
