On Gnome Live, I read about the the designs for a new Gnome panel:
http://live.gnome.org/Boston2008/GUIHackfest/WindowManagementAndMore .
I am not sure where else to discuss the designs, other than the
usability mailing list, so here it goes.
1. The new design for context switching replaces the ta

Should a right-click select the target? I certainly think that tab
buttons are more like window list buttons than like file manager icons
or window title bars. Both are buttons, and tab buttons represent
tabs, which are more like windows than like files (for example, mostly
non-persistent). More im
Hi Anton and everybody,
(It's nice to see some more Bulgarians here :-)
This sounds like something I wanted to propose for a long time: a text
search for menu items, to make it easier to find the menu items you
need, and also easier to execute functions provided by the menu; so it
is more humane

Hi Henrique
Your mockup looks nice. I do not understand exactly the problems you
wanted to solve, but I have a couple of suggestions and questions.
1. The font family names in column "Family" should be displayed in the
font family they represent. This avoids having to click on the family

I think it's a great idea - to have one CLI command for most of your
needs, to handle arguments appropriately. Unlike Gnome Do, it does not
depend on Gnome, or even on a graphical user interface; such a program
can still be useful on a console. And, being simple, it is easy to
customize. On the ot

Hi
I agree with all your suggestions.
As for bulk renaming, the idea was already posted on Ubuntu Barinstorm
many times[1], and there is a Nautilus script to do this.[2] That
script needs to be modified to have a "from" text box and a "to" text
box instead of perl syntax like "s///". Also, there
I like the idea of one person in each sub-project having a special
responsibility for UI issues. That would allow that person to develop
a keener insight into UI issues, to spot UI problems and solutions for
the project, to know the HIG better, and to develop special
relationships with other UI fol
Hi all,
I have noticed that different Gnome apps have quite different dialog
windows for prompting the user to save the current document before
closing the window. For example:
== Abiword==
Save the changes to document Untitled1 before closing?
Your changes will be lost if you don't save them.
[C
I agree, it should be Ctrl+scroll-wheel.
Also, the slider should have a "+" button and a "-" button. The one
shown in the HIG does not.

Interesting!
Why do you find that Gnome Shell is "not intuitive, time wasting and
not compatible with a productive environment"? What do you mean by
these things?
