Re: [Ayatana] Mosaic Snap feature for Natty

Actually, this is easily configurable on ccsm (grid plugin). Maybe the *default* behaviour could be discussed here, but the feature is already implemented. On Dom, 2011-03-13 at 19:42 -0300, klevi...@gmail.com wrote: > You know, Snap (or Aero Snap) is a great feature and very useful > indeed, but

If you are talking about the text on title bar, it is there by design (because when you are working with non-maximized windows, you need to know where and what are each of them). On Dom, 2011-03-13 at 22:48 -0600, Ian Santopietro wrote: > I do agree somewhat, though it is useful for finding the id

Re: [Ayatana] Animation Speeds in Unity.

Well, the animation time of Expo (workspace zooming) is 0.3 seconds by default. The animation time of minimizing is 0.22 seconds. I don't think that this makes difference in pratice. Although I don't realize any slow effect, the animation times can be configured using ccsm (but I think that the cu

The mockups look like good. It's a suggestion for dash navigation (that does not exist yet). It's similar to USC navigation, and doing it this way is really nice for consistency. However, it's too late for Natty. The dash navigation will be designed and implemented only for Natty+1. On Seg, 2011-

It looks like nice. Very nice. Very, very nice! This could be included as an extra for Unity (the feature could be enabled or disabled via ccsm, for example). On Ter, 2011-03-15 at 16:18 +0100, andrea azzarone wrote: > Maybe this is batter than a simple mockup: > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ru

Re: [Ayatana] Sound theme

2011-03-15 Thread Marco Biscaro
I think that these sounds are better than the default Ubuntu's theme. Some comments: 1. At moment, they are consistent. We must ensure that the theme will keep consistent, as long as new sounds are added. 2. The sounds are not normalized. Imagine: the user logs in and the login sound is too loud.

Ian, I think you're right. applications != windows An application can have zero or more windows. I think the question here is consistency: If your application has just one window, when you click on the launcher icon, this window will minimize. But if you have 3 opened windows to that application
