It seems that a lot of lenses are going to use various web APIs, some of
which require attribution.
My hypothesis is that people will start to abuse features, such as groups,
to provide attribution when they must. It should therefore be a good idea to
provide hooks to solve this problem.

There are a lot of other applications that benefit from the additional space
afforded by merging the titlebar and menubar into the panel besides the

There are several large, glaring, problems with the global menu as I see it:
Menu's are outdated. It's clear from the last few years that menus as we
know it are playing a more diminished role. Large amounts of applications
simply don't use them as they are largely a crutch for poor UI design.

Actually you can stick the windows bar on the left and get pretty much the
same effect as unity. Looking at my colleagues W7 machine (I have a Mac)

It might be an interesting idea to highlight the current selection in
alt-tab by a similar effect that is currently shown when pressing alt-F1.
The window(s) corresponding to the application would then be shown on the
right hand side of the launcher, with the launcher being permanently
visible. Rep
What about using Alt+Tab to call up the Window preview (Copy Super+W).
Continuing to press the key combo would highlight the next/previous window
in the sequence, and when you let go of Alt, it goes to the currently
highlighted window?
