Ok, the Aero thing can be useful. And I think we can have both, Compiz and Aero. For Aero, we need 3 touch points, one for the whole screen and two for the half screens. I don't know if it's possible but can we cut the menu-bar sensibility in three parts, with a big one in the center? When we touch a menu-bar side, the window takes the half screen, and when we touch the center, the window take the whole.
With that solution we can keep the both sides free for transferring an application to another desktop. Another thought: Can we have always a free workspace ready to receive a new application? Gnome Shell is design to work among many workspaces and for now only one is active at the startup. If we just add a new empty workspace each times the last one is full, it's can be useful. With that solution we don't need an extra button on your pie menu to add another desktop, you have always one waiting for you. 2010/4/18 Kaj-Ivar van der Wijst <[email protected]> > +1 Kao Chen, exactly what I was thinking of. > > Op 18-04-10 16:09, Kao Chen schreef: > > Can we imagine a simple window drag and drop like in Compiz, without button > or menu? > Can we just throw the application to the right or the left desktop? > It's what we already do in the overview. > > If we throw the application from the last desktop it can move to the first > like in a circle. > And If we really needed to place the window on a specific workspace, then > we should use the overview. > > > 2010/4/16 Apoorva Sharma <[email protected]> > >> Numbers or icons aren't necessary on the workspaces because the pie >> thrower is not for organizing windows, but rather putting them aside.
