can anyone tell me what is the regular resolution the HIG is supposed
to work on?
if we know that, we could just calculate the actual difference for
smaller and bigger resolutions based on that pixel value, a pixel on
High Resolution would be what in a lower one...

For what i have read of
how about an extra option at the moment of removing the media (linked
of commands or a script) that will wipe out all of the temp files for
that person in that moment specifically, that way security wise ppl
will get what they want and real owners of the computer, like the
photo DVD case, will be c

After reading all of this, i got that lots of people use the master
volume control (seating next of the notification area) with the mouse
wheel; somehow i got the idea that maybe the window list applet might
have more use than the simple tool tip it does (or the occasional
small preview in compiz).

It's a nice idea, but I feel that it increases a lot the amount of

something like that is what the musiX distro does!
it keeps some icons that on activation they change the desktop icons and the
wallpaper to fit certain kind of work, music, illustrations, etc! it is
very nice!

When i point that maybe the problem is the tabs design, i mean that
the way that tabs are make them look bad if there is only one tab, i
agree it's annoying having that waste of space there in the top, but,
maybe the change of color from the window to the tab makes the

i like the slider idea, if there is a slider tabs should not be
resized, in nautilus they should at least have the name of the folder
and maybe have a resize to that name, with a max-size limit.

so if i am on my docs folder smartags could allow me to just see text
docs or spread sheets or web pages or pictures based on what the

be very visible so that you always know that nautilus is showing you

I don't know if there is a widget that holds launcher icons on a
gnome's (top/bottom) bar, if there is the solution relies in using it,
that way all the launchers would not be moved from their position on a
resize (since the hole container is the one being moved), launchers
that are just added with
so there is a widget called drawer (cajon espanish) the problem with
it is that, is another icon, instead of a space on the panel (like
windows users are used to) it would be easyer (maybe even a bit more
usefull) if it was fixed panel space for icons because you can always
see the launchers you ha

your know, i think that the screen saver is not in that menu (window,

ubuntu uses 2 interfaces, the basic regular gnome and another that i
do not remember the name, basically is a semi transparent menu that
fills the screen and lets you choose the most used programs with big
icons.

I like the idea, is like the MAC's global menu bar, and the files tab
on the shell someone (zeitgeist?) is doing something about it where
the files are sorted by regular use.
