Hey, I've been testing LIM with the Unity Team ppa, and I'm sorry, I know it's too early to tell how LIM is going to evolve, but I got a suggestion.
In the design list John Lea said that, in order to avoid creating problems with moving windows by dragging their titles, LIM would only show when the left mouse button is released, but that solution makes LIM's behavior inconsistent with the behavior of the rest of panel items and of the global menu. In addition, some people were complaining that LIM could take an extra click (which is a false impression, but anyway...). And I was also wondering if the only change to the decorations will be the addition of the menu icon to the left of the window title, which sounds too subtle, it could be not very clear to newbies. I created a mockup suggesting an app button. It's in attached. With an app button we could access a menu item with a single left click - holding the left mouse button, moving it to the menu item we want and releasing the button. This would make LIM's behavior more consistent with the rest of Unity itens, allow accessing menu itens with a single click, increase discoverability, and zero out any chance of interfering with the movement of windows. ** Attachment added: "LIM button.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/931245/+attachment/2916306/+files/LIM%20button.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931245 Title: Finish the implementation of the locally integrated menubars To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz-core/+bug/931245/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
