Re: [Ayatana] Some thoughts about the home lens
what about these widgets being linked to parent lenses ? clicking on them or on a link more would take you to the lenses. so in essence these widgets would act as previews of the lenses you want in one screen. i like the idea of adding lens previews to the home in the form of blocks/widgets :) would be cool to improve the API to do that.

If you click on system you'll get some possibilities, more could be added, but I wouldn't bloat it to much. http://ubuntuone.com/0dZEtliYhI9NoQEc2VISud Finally we could make a widget for notes, connect it with u1 and we have a replacement for tomboy^^ ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Ayatana] Some thoughts about the home lens
oh no, linking lenses is optional and only if the user has installed or set them. and some lenses could provide its own preview/widgets. else some previews only link to an app, browser, etc. (or may not link to anything if they are designed that way). sadly for something like this to get implemented , the devs need to open up to the idea that users need to be able to customize some things to their needs.
