I think it would be worth fleshing out some existing parts of the
design, like the application menu and launchers, before delving in to
gizmos as a separate component. In the end, if the rest is done to
cover the appropriate jobs, they may not be necessary.

We're all moving towards searching for applications. Gnome Shell,
Unity and KDE's desktop all promote it. However, I have yet to see a
solid implementation.
The Desktop Entry Specification gives us a Name, a Comment and a list
of Categories. Right now, the search system in Gnome Shell appears to

Just like the Minimize and Maximize buttons, the close button refers

I'm making an app that displays a transparent, non-interactive
fullscreen overlay to convince someone to take a break without
interfering with what they are doing. So, I want this overlay to
disturb nothing in terms of what the user can currently do: it just
serves as a constant reminder (and makes
For my break timer gsoc project, we'd like to have a detailed lock
screen notification to communicate when a break is finished. However,
by default, gnome-shell just shows the application's name and "one
unread message" (or something to that effect). To get the type of
notification I want, it looks

Probably worth keeping in mind application developers as well. At the

None of those happen right now. I'm not saying I have lost hope (this is
a constantly changing, super exciting work in progress, after all), but
I do hope there is some movement in their direction, or (naturally) in a
new and better direction :)
hope everyone here has read
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotificationDevelopmentGuidelines .
It's a very nice document, and the goals there line up really nicely
with what's happening in GNOME Shell. It would be a real shame to see

Absolutely not the case. KDE liked to leave important, (possibly

There was one thing maybe a bit interesting that they changed. I'm not
actually sure if it's upstream (sorry, no time to check!), but window
button order is saved on a per-theme basis. So, their new Ambience
theme gets buttons on the left, choosing another theme switches them
to the right. It seems
