Extensions can be a good things, if we have one only interface in order to download them, enable/disable them, and change their options. If each extension have got its own different way to install or different ways to change its options, it will be a big mess. We need a extensions center.
I return to the task-panel subject. I thinks it will be a major extension, even if I prefer a direct integration. So, in my research of the perfect solution, I built an other mockup and I added a wheel. Turn the wheel and you can access to each open applications. We can turn it by just approaching the mouse, without click I always forgot the desktop shortcut in my mockup but i think we really need one.
