Hi Calum,
I notice that the title for the Desklets entry of the Accessories menu
is different from 2008.05 and GNOME community but is not marked. I
just
want to make sure if the title *is* Desklets but not gDesklets.
I was originally proposing "Desklets", so it should have been
marked... the HIG recommends against using names of the form "GNOME
Something" or "gSomething" on the menus.
Speaking of Desklets, my first impression was that the raised circles on
the background image almost look clickable and since the sweep of the
"comet tail"draws the user's eye to that corner, I'll bet those circles
will be clicked by at least a few opensolaris newcomers.
I've never liked the two panel design since, especially on popular wide
screen laptops, display real estate is already limited in this
dimension. But then if you're going to have two panels, the separation
of function does make some sense.
Do we have any data on how many percent of users use 4 or more
workspaces? (especially those migrating from competing OSs which only
have 1 workspace)
Would compiz handle a triangle/pyramid workspace surface instead of a
cube so we can have 3 workspaces and leave a bit more room for the
window switcher applet?
I wonder if it would make sense to put the window selector widget just
to the left of the "show desktop" icon? It looks like there is a bit of
room and window selector has a small icon.
However, from the CD Space Analysis discussion that's currently
happening on indiana-discuss, it sounds like we might be dropping
gdesklets from the LiveCD anyway. So rather than worry about such a
minor change for something that might be disappearing into a
repository, I'll just change it back to "gDesklets" in the spec.
Cheeri,
Calum.

Comments welcome... it hasn't really changed too much since what we'd
planned for 2008.05, bar a bit more panel reshuffling (to try and
achieve a functional split of "actions and status" on top and
"windows
and workspaces" on the bottom), and some minor changes to accommodate
upstream changes in GNOME 2.24.
Cheeri,
Calum.
