Now I've filed a bunch of bug reports for the topics I covered in the original mail. All topics haven't been assigned a bug report since they had similar entries in Launchpad already. If you want to promote any of them here are the links:
- More effective launcher area with the workspace switcher and the trash relocated <https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/790591> - Merge the lenses into the Dash to gain launcher space and consistency<https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/790606> - Alternative launcher overflow indication<https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/790619> - Ubuntu welcome center <https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/790628> - Unity should be more themable and configurable<https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/790633> Give it some love! :) 2011/5/31 Niklas Rosenqvist <[email protected]> Just a quick update on the revamped dash mockup: > > http://i.imgur.com/mLzuI.jpg > > I had forgot to add the lens titles but now it's done. > > 2011/5/30 Niklas Rosenqvist <[email protected]> > > 2011/5/30 Henrik Peytz <[email protected]> >> >> I agree on all points, especially the frustration of not being able to >>> remove the global menu/top panel. >>> >>> Still though, wouldn't something like what I proposed earlier >>> http://fav.me/d3h14i1 (disregard everything but the traybar in top-right >>> corner) work? >>> >> >> Like elementary's wingpanel you mean?
