Hello! Since end of 2009 I have been watching the development of the gnome-shell. It has made large progress and a lot of features have appeared that I haven't ever dreamed of. A few weeks ago I switched to the shell on my surfing&socialising notebook and I very like it. Thanks for your work!
The only thing I haven't ever understood: Why are windows in the overview placed in columns? I haven't found reasons for this on the design pages and only very few discussions in that direction. Is there an official opinion? Wouldn't it be better to have a more native positioning and sizing of the windows? Recently I started using my own patched version of workspace.js that I also attached to this bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=615378 The behaviour is not yet perfect and the code isn't very nice as well. But it gives already a nice impression how it could be in a future implementation. Is there interest for further work in that direction? If so, could someone give me some hints for using better library functions and so on? (I just hacked a bit in the code and used lookingglass for logmessages since I couldn't find a real howto or documentation how to construct a nice development environment (IDE) for gnome-shell). Help would be nice! Best Regards, Florian _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
