I think you should revert to the original design.
I agree that 'hiding' the action buttons away in a toolbar is rather
unfortunate :-( , but wouldn't placing buttons as in the original
layout eat up vertical space? Here are a few things to consider.

No more
BTW, I'm not exactly sure what kind of changes you are envisioning,
but I would suggest that you keep the focus on simplicity. That's the
beauty of Pippy as it is now.
For more advanced development tools there have been designs and
implementations of other activities in the past, such as Develop
This ticket has some important discussion that was proposed for airing on

Thanks for forwarding this Gary. My feeling is that the views in home should
be motivated by functional differences, for example ring vs. freeform (one
allows positioning, the other positions elements linearly). To me, triangle,
square, and spiral seem a little to obscure to be in the core
Could Activities be grouped as open-able folders(Icons with popup
labels), which open with a click per the classification used by ASLO?

ie:
*Search Discovery
*Documents
*News
*Chat, mail and talk
..etc

Thus open-able folders (Icons)
Hi Christian,
I do think that there are opportunities for different views, but
would love to first figure out collectively what the functional
differences/affordances are that we are designing for...
The functional difference I'm interested in is supporting more activities;

Hi Chris--to address scalability we have a list view from which you can
select favorite activities to go in the ring. This is a similar technique to
the OSX dock or Windows taskbar.
But you raise a good point. I've always thought that there may be an
opportunity for a scalable grid view, not
