A few links: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/welcome-window https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/790628 https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05790.html https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg06051.html For the record, I'm against any nag screens, be that XP style welcome tour or the equally renowned "tip of the day". What certainly needs to be addressed is making keyboard shortcuts more discoverable. Chrome OS and OS X are pretty good at that. Having already copied the Mac style menu bar why not further add two of its greatest features? Namely that's the search box in the help menu entry and the blue flashing of the top menu entry if a keyboard shortcut is executed. Try it out if you can. Chrome (OS) shows some unobtrusive tips. I personally don't like them either but at least they don't get in the way. Therefore I'd much prefer your OSD approach to solid windows or even whole separate applications as discussed previously. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
