[Unity-design] Applications lens

Dear Ayatana team, The default lenses currently has some unclear issues for me. Take the applicatrions lens for example. What is the reasoning behind having multiple-selection tool in the adwanced search bar? Why would someone want to select eg. development and accessibility simultaneously? In what

[Unity-design] Data sharing protocoll in Ubuntu

Sorry if it was discussed before, anyway... I have been using Android and Windows 8 recently quite a lot. These two guys have one pretty clever feature, i would certainly like to have in Ubuntu. Its their data-sharing protocoll. Basically applications have the ability to register one of their metho

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] question

I have changed my HUD trigger to ctrl just to try how it would act. I can say after an hour of heavy text-editing HUD activated about 50 times from which about 2 was intentional. I think it pretty much gets in the way rather than help with ctrl. 2012/4/14 Evan Huus > On Sat, Apr 14, 2012 at 3:23

Re: [Unity-design] dropping the top panel shadow

I dont like this idea. The shadow indicates whether the panel currently is a part of a the window we see or not. And the GTK theming is necessary because the panel sometimes is the part of a window. It would just look odd with a dash-like theming. 2012/6/3 Thorsten Wilms > On 06/03/2012 09:45 AM

[Unity-design] Readability, less colour, and more shadows

This whole cameleonic behaviour is not a bad thing, though the current design went a bit too far with it. The initial purple hue of the dash is really hard on the eyes for me, and the tinting of the dash really does reduce readability with certain wallpapers. These two are the most important ergono

[Unity-design] Sliding desktop

I have made a really quick mockup about what i think would solve 2 things i dont like about the current implementation of unity. - The blurred dash slows down the overall unity experience. Especially on non-intel devices and while runnung dynamically rendered content (video or games).
