[ubuntu-art] Concept for Intrepid

2008-06-20 Thread Michael Stephenson

I can't see how you could use up some of the wasted space without adding redundant buttons, perhaps making the control buttons central would make it appear as if less space was being wasted? I'd need to see a mockup of a better totem to be convinced it needs work. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu
