I understand that the gnome-shell developers have already made these decisions,
and have decided that an application list is unnecessary after thorough
research. However, it should be clear by now that the community doesn't
understand the logic behind the decisions. Instead of saying the
I think that it's important to recognize that even the iOS, which used
to have a zoom out to switch apps behavior, now has an application
switcher. The reality is that no matter how unique the desktop
environment, sone sort of window list/application list is needed.

I have one simple suggestion to make regarding the design of the system tray
icons in Gnome-3:
On double-click, these icons should open their respective application.
For example, if a user were to double click the bluetooth icon, the
bluetooth preferences window should open. If the user double
Have you notice that if we have too much windows in each workspaces, the
windows(too many of them) are getting tinier and it is difficult to know and
select the right window.
One solution which would fix all problems with window switching in
gnome-shell would be to tab together windows of

I believe that the suggestion is for moving windows quickly out of the
current workspace. For organizing windows if a situation where there
are many workspaces (i.e. moving a window two workspaces down), the
overview should be used.
A pie menu would be an addition to the current interface,
If you really needed to place the window on a specific workspace, then
you should use the overview. If we add this functionality to the pie
menu, we would sacrifice the ability to throw widows out of the way,
and I believe that is the main benefit of such a menu-it allows users

The problem with switching windows through the overlay is that it
floods the user with all sorts of information, thus breaking the
workflow. Swithcing windows shouldn't involve breaking the workflow.

Can someone explain to me why an alphabetically sorted grid is in any way a
better way to browse applications? Change is only good when it improves, not
makes worse.

What is the grid for? If it is supposed to be used to browse for

applications could create an icon there when they open, and shrink down
the activities button to the bottom panel there is no issue
in removing the top pane since the only thing that it currently
provides is a clock and a user settings menu. Or is a Mac OS like menu
planned for the top pane?
