[Bug 754583] Re: UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users
Perhaps a better solution would be to disable the trigger on the first 50pixels (or whatever) of the left edge when a window is maximized. This way the launcher would never be triggered when a user was actually aiming for the left most toolbar button in a maximized window. I don't believe we need a visual indicator when the launcher is hidden, that seems to defeat the purpose and adds ugly screen clutter. As far as alerts go, I seem to recall there was discussion that the icon of the app needing attention would pop out from the left edge when the launcher was hidden. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754583 Title: UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Matt, throwing the mouse at the left edge, even with any necessary-but- short delay is still less time/work for the user than the currently inefficient method. Also, having to resort to the keyboard to overcome this issue is not a valid workaround, imo. A user should not have to resort to bandaids in their workflow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754583 Title: UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I think 'LEFT OF SCREEN' REVEAL is a boost to efficiency and will greatly improve the desktop experience. If a user wants to open an app via the launcher, they can aim directly for where that icon will be when the launcher slides into view. As it is now, a user must move the cursor to the top left of the screen and then down to the desired icon. This requires unnecessary mouse travel, particularly when the icon they're aiming for could be at the other end of the screen. Allowing app icons to 'pop out' when attention is needed is, also, a big improvement over change of color in the BFB (given that provides absolutely NO clue to which app needs the attention). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754583 Title: UIFe: Launcher - update launcher reveal interaction to make it more accessible to first time users -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 73023] Re: Round orange emblems have lack usability
Personally, I prefer the style of Jef's emblem icon set over the current set to a rather sizable degree. They make use of an immediately more recognizable image for each emblem and seem more integrated and modern compared to other included graphics in the Distro. Eric's 'colored' update is an improvement on the originals BUT many of them are too simplistically stylized to properly indicate their meaning, imo. For example. if I were not to read the descriptions beneath (and when in use, keep in mind that these emblems don't have a text description) the multimedia emblem looks like a ladder to me, the Certified almost looks like a clock, the Package looks like a t-shirt, and the art emblem draws to mind a flukeworm rather than a paint brush! I would really be happy with a more photo-realistic direction in this area. I, also, think the circle behind the emblem tends to make the images appear oversized. When combined with the object on which they are placed it tends to create a rather unbalanced feeling, imo. Rather than using a shape to tie them all together perhaps an overall 'color tint' could be used to indicate their function instead.
