Yes, but for the date and time indicator it is necessary to have text. You
can't hope to convey the time in an icon that small.
In that case, text becomes necessary to convey in the information
accurately. Introducing it in other places will add clutter to the setup and
start a possible branch of
It accurately portrays the condition... Just like how the date/time
indicator accurately portrays the time, but the date is hidden away in the
menu. A single click and you can find out the more in-depth information as
needed.

I'm not entirely sure this pertains to this particular conversation, but
here is my take on it:
I think that, instead of depending on users to sort their files by
themselves, there should instead be a Home directory where *everything* gets

unnecessary given that Unity's already present expo feature.* However

Unity, as of my last checking, only uses fullscreen for above

to Desktop mode. I agree that it should be made available in CCSM,
though. Make the option readily usable instead of hidden away.

Sorry about those! And keep up the good work on Unity

So, among the many changes for 11.04, I've noticed one particular change
that irks me to no end: Comboboxes have been switched to now have arrows
pointing both up and down (much as presented on Mac OS X I've been told) but
are still inconsistent about click behavior.

I recently say the post on OMG!Ubuntu! about the possibility of dark
toolbars being included for Oneiric and this sparked an interesting debate
among someone I know who I asked to draft his thoughts on the issue for post
to the Ayatana list for discussion. Here it is:

As things currently stand, if you want an application in Ubuntu you go to
the software center and browse the myriad applications available. Of these,
MANY are what I would dub 'legacy' applications (my word, don't focus too
much on it). As far as I know, there is nothing that quite defines an Ubunt

Actually, I intended something more in depth than that. I asked one of the
designers and am going to attempt to begin work on a comprehensive HIG.
Everything about the design needs to be thought out, not just 'integrate

In my spare time, I'm working on creating a traditional windowed
application that will have a menubar. I find it important to integrate with
Unity, leading me to an important question: What behavior is the best to
adopt?
As I see it, there are three options:
