differently so that I don't need a 'bucket'? Challenge yourself to make a fundamental change to your design so the bucket isn't needed. As Mark pointed out, this additional entity is not needed, and the Launcher should not contain unnecessary parts! David On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 5:49 PM, Mark

Fair enough. Alt-tab could still show minimized windows and preserve MRU ordering, but maybe do so in a way that naturally de-emphasizes minimized windows so they're easier to ignore? David On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 12:32 PM, Mark Shuttleworth m...@ubuntu.com wrote: On 17/05/10 12:16, David

GNOME is currently putting new effort into getting Control Center into shape, as the Preferences and Administration menus will be deprecated in GNOME 3. UNE 10.10 will promote Control Center by placing it in the Launcher. David On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 4:03 PM, Shane Fagan shanepatrickfa

it's unlikely that we will prematurely jettison the Preferences and Application menus and introduce Ubuntu users to the soon-to-be-replaced Control Center. Maybe Matthew Paul Thomas can say more about the new Control Center and when we can expect it in Ubuntu. David On Mon, May 17, 2010 at 5:06 PM

eck redundant wording, let me rephrase. Wouldn't it be easier to just remove the close button? ex. file transfer, click the cancel button to close. imo, minimize to system-tray wouldn't be necessary with an icon dockbar. Thus returning the close icon to its previous state of actually quiting the

Close=quit, some apps could just minimize to tray by default (music player). The music tray would already provide more function then the taskbar, no reason to minimize it there. Rather then making rules, let function define the result. I'm more interested in how Ubuntu could merge some of those

seeing as single click is grasping hold, check-box's aren't far off. Kde's way of having the plus icon would seem to be a good way to do this, either plus or a checkbox. This is probably the best way to do it, however I must ask if maybe a menu option (select files) or a bottom popup of some sort

If someone wants to keep the icon in the launcher, for things like drag-to, they should be able to minimise it that way. So no, I think both buttons should stay. Think of music in the system tray as a fall back. If there's a dedicated tray icon the controls and such appear there, and not in the
