Tabs are a not a bad way to go, I see Thunderbird email client starting to use tabs rather than pop up a lot of windows. Personally I prefer the app to "contain itself".

Gnome Shell Tabbed Interface new mock-up (Jeroen Verhoeckx) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 10:43:43 -0700 (PDT) From: Jeroen Verhoeckx <[email protected]> To: Gnome Shell List <[email protected]> Subject: Gnome Shell Tabbed Interface new mock-up Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Hello Gnome Shell developers and users, I just got one respond on my last email. I'm glad that it was a positive one. However I'm wondering why I didn't get more. Is it because people don't like the idea or are there just very few people on this mailing list? Nonetheless I made a new mock-up ;-) ! The differences with the former mock-up is: * Moved the 'add app' button to the right because this is something that users shouldn't need to use often. If you want, you easily simulate the Gnome Shell Tabbed Interface: * Move the Window list to the top panel (off course this doesn't work exactly as the 'Application menu' in Gnome Shell!!) * Open Google Chrome The advantage of having the applications and the tabs at the top of the screen is that you can work much more efficiently. You just need to move the mouse just a few centimetres to get where you want. But the most important advantage is that the applications are always in view of the user and that he or she doesn't have to zoom out just to see what is open or closed. I'm hoping on a little more feedback his time ;-). Yours sincerely, Jeroen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
