Hi! As an everyday user of Acme (since 2000, or so) I would like to share some ideas I would like to see in Acme's UI, which I, nevertheless, like much. Here they are:
-No taglines -Processes win shows running processes started from Acme (like uppermost tagline does now) -Special command win shows guide file with predefined commands; this win is special in that command 2-clicked in this win acts in the last focused win, not in this one; otherwise, it is a normal window ( perhaps could be also permanently visible) -Two columns: first contains Command win and +List win -Rows instead of columns -Just a single win visible in the row, others are hidden -Command ListWin lists open windows in +List win, 3-click on win name brings it to front, as usually -Moving between wins (bringing win to the front) using +List win -No win handle: instead, dirtiness indicator of any win resizes both width (of column) and heigth (of individual win, as usually) -New win created in the row with last win in focus It could look something like this: hget http://www.gli.cas.cz/home/cejchan/newacme.pdf | page One problem: should there be a list of window-specific commands, e.g. for mail, or so? [No. Guide file should suffice] If we could get rid of menus in rio, too, wouldn't that be nice?? Perhaps, having a command-window somewhere [no taglines, please] (Nextstep had a single menu for all apps; doesn't Mac have it, too? Not familiar with Mac) Hope it does not hurt anybody.
