OK, have had a look now :-) Both the concepts are interesting, thanks for the mockups. For the moment, I'm going to ask we stick to the app name, with appropriate ellipsis so that it fits in the room that the window controls will use. Mark -- App name in panel menu is truncated https://bugs.la

Just a little test how the icons of different common applications would look if they were rendered at 48x48, with 50% opacity, vertically centered and cut to the size of the menu bar panel. ** Attachment added: "icontests.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/619477/+attach

Yes, this is a case where it is difficult to decide for one option. Of course, adding the icon there is not an ideal solution. In fact, it doesn’t really have much purpose other than helping you to recognize to which window the menus belong. But that’s exactly what we need in that place, in my opi

I wish we had the luxury of playing around with both concepts for a while :(, because it's indeed hard to pick the right approach. Anyhow, I have one more point to raise - accessibility. I don't know which screen size you are using, but on my 14" display the top bar is so narrow that an applicati

Well, I agree with you that Unity is different, but anyway I think leaving the buttons in the menu bar is not the best idea, for the following reasons: 1) If you have dialog windows having the buttons in their title bar and application windows having them in the menu bar, this creates an inconsist

Although your mockups are nice, I'd like to argue the points you make: 1) Unity is by itself a new paradigm, so button location will be one of a dozen of new things users will have to get used to. Doesn't make a big difference. 2) Dialog windows should have their own buttons and it makes sense as

I don’t think removing the buttons from the window title bar (like proposal 1) is a good idea. Users are used to having these buttons directly in the title bar, not on a probably far away menu bar. If the window is maximized, this is okay as the menu bar practically becomes the title bar, but if th

No moving controls to the right again, please, everybody will laugh at Ubuntu. I like the option 1 (obviously), but don't you think that the active window should stand out? Especially when it's not the only one and somewhere in the bottom? See also my mockup in comment 6. It's a bit of stealing fr

Attaching a mockup of 3 options i could think of... Option 1 might work if we are sure the window placements can be done right. Making sure windows are placed from the top right makes it easier to have the buttons only on the top always. But we need to make sure that the windows placement is right

Hi Mario We could do that, but since it would require work on many apps, I'd prefer to hold fire until we're absolutely certain it's needed. I wouldn't be surprised if we find a creative solution that doesn't need it. Mark -- App name in panel menu is truncated https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/

I suggest that window controls are always in the panel regardless of their maximization state. The controls should then be removed from windows themselves. In that case, we just need to make active window more prominent. I am attaching a quick dirty rendering of my idea (actually not mine, but st

This is an awkwardness that we need to refine. We want the menu position to be constant, and we know that when windows are maximised we'll have the window controls in there. As a temporary approach we're putting the truncated first word of the app name in that space, we haven't done a round of pol
