[Ayatana] We need AppLauncher screen edge alignment configuration!

2011-08-22 Thread Niklas Rosenqvist
Hi everybody! I've said many times that the AppLauncher position needs to be configurable. In it's current implementation it only aligns to the left side of the screen edge. This is probably because most western languages read from left to right and it saves a lot of vertical space on widescreen

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

Hi Stefanos, I know the orientation of icons seem off at first sight but if you think about it in action, you would wanna see the icons close to your mouse when you aimed at bottom left to activate the Launcher. Otherwise it would be too much mouse motion and it would not fully serve the purpose

Wouldn't it work anyway since the BUB is now inside the AppLauncher area? All corners are a great position according to Fitt's Law so there's no need to move the position of the BUB relative to the rest of the launcher - and the Dash would ofcourse unflod accordingly. 2011/8/22 Eylem Koca

Well, you're still suggesting moving the Ubuntu button to the bottom left when the Launcher is at the bottom, right? The problem with that is that it disturbs the overall consistency of the desktop. I mean, the Ubuntu button and the Dash are (should be) central to Unity desktop and moving them

Alternatively, I'd support integrating all the functionality of the Oneiric Device Menu into the Dash, and just let the user determine whether to place the BFB on the right or left (or top or bottom, in a world without any dock) end of the panel. When (if) the Dash reaches its full potential,

My wish is that they implement a button which isn't a part of the AppLauncher Icon's area but still not taking up the top left corner since the window buttons are really awkwardly placed when working with a maximized window in 11.04. But without that corner it loses a lot of efficiency (Fitt's

I upgraded to Oneiric tonight. While there are still very rough edges and lots of crashes, I really like the way things are going. I especially like Unity2D. Actually, at present, I prefer using Unity2D. I like its appearance better than I like Unitys. And I don't know if it's intentional, but
