Hi, nice ideas you have here! Some comments : > 1. I've removed the "Other .... applications" links because they > duplicate the functionality of the large category button
At the time I made my mockup, I wasn't sure if the Category buttons had to be clickable, because I didn't think it was evident for new users that these big buttons gave access to other applications. At the beginning, I was even thinking that the 'other applications' overlay should appear when the user's rolls his mouse over the category (not only the button). But I haven't made my mind yet about which is the most usable. > 3. I've removed "Public" as it seems out of place (and not as commonly > used as the other items prioritised on this screen) In my view, this 'Public' folder is more a placeholder for an Ubuntu One, Dropbox, or any folder connected to the Internet or local network, that's why I thought it was relevant to have it here. I also made two columns because I thought 3 folders wouldn't be enough, but I'm still not sure of this because it breaks the 'symmetry'. > 4. I've aligned Trash along the bottom next to "Get more applications" > which seems less cluttered After further thinking, I think that the trash icon doesn't belong on the applications view at all, because on unity's latest builds the trash is always available in the dock. > Anyway, just thought I'd throw those tweaks out there. Awesome work > btw, I'd love the apps place to look like this; displaying the recent > apps alongside the categories is genius!
