Re: [Ayatana] A rather radical Unity design idea with mockups

Hi Eylem, it would be interesting if you could try a slight variation of the first mockup: the Ubuntu button at the bottom-left (like it already is) but the application launchers aligned on top (like they are in the default Unity layout). Right now, the mockup feels somewhat unbalanced with the

Hi James, I don't think the orientation of English language is a valid reason to keep the Ubuntu button on the top left. I think the focus should be about assigning functional attribute to each screen corner so the user can aim to a particular corner with a certain purpose. System related

Re: [Ayatana] A rather radical Unity design idea with mockups

I just wanted to correct the explanation of mockups: Default desktop (Ubuntu button and Launcher are together and on the left) (also corresponds to Alternative_2 with Launcher-on-left and Ubuntu button hovered): http://i51.tinypic.com/31355as.jpg Default desktop with Dash activated (also
