Re: [Unity-design] Style of system/indicator menus

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

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

When the launcher is set to never hide, your proposal makes sense. However, if it is set to always hide, it will potentially slide over the window controls or they would have to move out of the way. Although it is set to always show by default, I would think a lot of people would want the lau

Re: [Unity-design] Reduce Dash Icon Clutter

Personally I think a settings lens would be useful. You would still be able to search for settings, but the applications lens would be much cleaner. However, if we are trying to get people to use the 'power cog' to change settings, then they should not be in the dash at all. -- Please avoid

Re: [Unity-design] Tour on first login

I'm sure this has come up before, but was shot down on the grounds that Ubuntu aims to be intuitive. If it is intuitive it should be obvious what everything does, and there is therefore no need for an introduction. However, I feel that there should be something. Regardless of how intuitive it

Hi Chris I believe the number was just used to show the position of the spinner, and does not actually have anything to do with the status of the spinner at all. Correct me if I'm wrong though. On Wed 29 Feb 2012 18:46:24 GMT, Chris wrote: Hi everyone, It's not entirely clear why there s

Re: [Unity-design] Are there plans to add "Reboot" item to the power-cog menu in panel?

We have a confirmation dialogue when the user clicks shut down, and they can also select restart from this menu. So why don't we change the menu so there is instead an option to 'end session', which then leads to a confirmation dialogue that includes all the possible options to end a session?

Is there any way that dodge windows could be added as some kind of extension? We have lenses to extend the functionality of the dash, but nothing for the panel. Extensions seem like a great way to add functionality to a DE, as they could be created and maintained by the community, for the commu
