Which is a problem in itself.

Current workspace switcher does two things better: 1. Shows windows the way they really are. 2. Uses logical orientation for layout of workspaces, which is in line with animation in compiz (left-to-right). (I'm referring here to jimmac's mock-up to have workspaces in top-to-bottom layout, which doesn't make sense for something that's left-to-right). There is also the question of distance here. I have to travel all the way to the bottom to do a workspace switch. It would make more sense to have these closer to Activities button. When it comes to actually switching windows on a single workspace (which is the primary function as you said), I get your point. Essentially Activities means expose. If we had workspaces laid out closer to the Activities button (i.e. near the top of the screen, see my mock-up), with proper visual representation of windows on the "workspace switcher" and the ability to actually switch directly, I think I wouldn't even look at expose style windows below. -- Bojan _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
