[Ayatana] Indicators for showing progress

Hello! A new idea came into my mind regarding the indicators: we have many applications that execute long-running operations... like when copying large files or many files, the nautilus icon appears in the system tray to indicate that some operations are in progress. In my opinion for cases like t

changing icon for showing progress, with no menu, leading to notification area inconsistency again, because all the items there do have a menu. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 1:32 PM, Chow Loong Jin wrote: > On Wednesday 14,April,2010 06:18 PM, Roth Robert wrote: > > Hello! > > > >

Re: [Ayatana] Indicators for showing progress

Yes, that solution is exactly what I meant, but I wasn't sure if it should be done using DBus, because I don't know much about it, yet. I agree that it would open up lots of possibilities. I like that solution very much. On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Luke Benstead wrote: > On a slightly rela

Re: [Ayatana] Making workspaces great (branched from "Farewell to the notification area")

I have just been looking at the gnome-shell wikis, and I have found some mockups for suggested window management. I think the idea is quite good, could replace the workspaces. Someone has already sent a mail with a mockup similar to these, but this is a bit more detailed... check them out. http://l

Re: [Ayatana] Panel menu in 10.10 Netbook UI

I also was thinking about something like this... I've seen a mockup once, in which the application menubar and the titlebar are merged, but both of them are constantly shown, which is not a problem IMO, because as we know, we have horizontal pixels. I have checked, and the applications with many me

Re: [Ayatana] More complete Applications view

Nice mockup. Really interesting idea, useful categorization, everything at a glance, but what do the places do on the applications page? Although this could combine applications place with the places place, and it would be good as a starting screen. most useful apps from each category could be retr

Re: [Ayatana] Graceful degradation of Unity

Metacity does have compositing, and I've read that Docky works with metacity compositing. That could do it, if we need a dock-like interface imitating Unity, but I also think that the classic two gnome-panels is a really good fallback, for legacy users and users who don't like nor the Gnome Shell n

Re: [Ayatana] Launcher DnD - import applications on DnD start

Showing only the default app is not the best thing I think, because opening the file with the default application can be done by simply double-clicking the file. It would be nice to use this possibility to show all the apps that can open the file (based on the mime type), and the file would be open

Thanks Jeremy for the correction, you're right, I have forgot about that one. This restricts the problems to switching themes, fonts, font sizes and screen savers. On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 12:18 PM, Jeremy Bicha wrote: > On 15 July 2011 04:01, Roth Robert wrote: > > gnome-appeara
