Re: [Unity-design] design, give a suitable direction forward

Mark, Talking about Fitt's law, in the design expanding the Launcher in the whole height the BFB would take the corner spot away from window controls, thats right. This could be a problem because window controls are hidden by default, but being in the corner makes them more easily discoverable by a

Re: [Unity-design] Suggestion to improve switching between multiple instances of an application from the launcher

Do you mean kind of like that in Mac OS X Lion, with Mission Control? I do think the way the window previews enlarge themselves on hover would be a great feature to incorporate into Ubuntu. Thanks! Have a great weekend everybody!!! ---Ryan "For God so loved the world in this way: He gave His one

Re: [Unity-design] Animations/Transitions in Ubuntu

In the newest version of Unity that was uploaded to the servers yesterday, the icon flying animation from Ubuntu Software Centre is too fast also. Webupd8 also thinks that animation is overly fast. If the user blinks, the animation has already finished. Just my two cents. Thanks, and enjoy the w

Re: [Unity-design] Animations/Transitions in Ubuntu

I tend to agree in part. The animations are overly fast in my opinion and don't look too good because of it, especially when compared to the likes of KDE with it's buttery animations. If animations are going to be so fast they look choppy then doesn't it make them pointless in the first place? I

Maybe it's only me but if you are having several text documents or spread sheets open you'll always chose the wrong, the bigger the preview the better. Every other applications look mostly very different due to different content in the different windows. It's right that it is important how windo

Re: [Unity-design] Animations/Transitions in Ubuntu

I'm not seeing that at all. It's perfectly smooth here. They're faster, which I guess could make it seem like we're trying to hide choppiness, but if you slow them down, you'll see it's perfectly smooth. I'm against slowing down the animation. It's perfectly smooth as it is, and slowing it down co

To be honest, I had been thinking the same. However, if HUD is planned to become the default and replace global menus in the future, this wouldn't be an issue. Potentially, a new style could also be used with LIMs, and global menu could even be scrapped altogether (after all, not many applicati
