Sorry to bring Windows up, but I have also been using Windows 8 as my only operating system today. (I will re-install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 tomorrow). I think (like Windows 8) that Ubuntu’s appearance should be more customisable. If you want to, you can create a new thread on this. Anyway, Windows 8 allows you to not only choose the colour of the start screen, but also the background style. I think that Ubuntu should allow that with Dash. I think that more people would come to Ubuntu if they knew how customisable it could be/is. Just an idea. Thanks!

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 methods to share data held by them through a protocoll to an other application. This makes literally every application compatible with each other. Applications would be able to: - Register a method for messaging -> no need to iplement switches in every application to turn notifications off, because the desktop can control it. - Register method for sharing the data it holds -> Files could be immediately retrieved from various sources. - Register itself for certain file types -> User immediately offered those apps when opens a file. Well... there could be tons of roles an application could be regitered to. There is an initiative in elementary os already: http://elementaryos.org/docs/human-interface-guidelines/desktop-integration/contractor What do you think we could use this for? Do we have something likely already? -- *Csonka Bálint* @913 -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
