>From the comments above, it doesn't feel that the design is complete and fully tested at this point. This should be retargetted to land in the R series.

Allows users to close windows in the spread == Test == None as of yet. This code is mostly all UI/Rendering code and wasn't exactly testable. It might be worthwhile looking into writing AP tests for the close functionality. The two revisions in question are: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/trunk/revision/2650 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/trunk/revision/2662 I can vouch as the reviewer that the code was written correctly and functions like the other compiz draw-on-windows code. == Contingency? == We should just be able to revert those revisions. As nothing else is planned to change on those code sections, reverting them should be trivial. 1.Open 3 windows of nautilus or any application. 2. Click on the application's icon in the launcher to activate spread mode. 3. If you want to close one of the windows, you have to click on its preview, than close it when it has focus. However, we should be able to close it directly in spread mode (like in gnome shell) by clicking on a close button in the upper left corner of each preview. I attached a picture of how its done in gnome shell. ------------------------- Note from design: This feature will be added as part of 'The Spread', for more details see: - http://design.canonical.com/2012/03/task-switching-in-ubuntu-and-a -introduction-to-the-spread/ - http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/unity-task-switching/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/876017/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
