[Unity-design] webapps and the sound menu

2012-12-12 Thread Alex Launi
Hello, we on the webapps team are looking for design input with respect to the sound menu. We'd like a more elegant solution for dealing with multiple players, for instance having 4 or 5 youtube tabs open at a time. The current spec (not actually implemented) says to just have multiple players

However many tabs people have open, they're rarely going to be *playing* more than one at a time. Show one distinct entry for every playing youtube instance. If none are playing but several are open, then make the 'play' and similar buttons show drop-down lists to choose an instance. Thoughts?

My understanding of proper webapps is that the implementation we ended up with in Ubuntu 12.10 was pretty poor and was shipped incomplete. Webapps should be standalone apps without the extra browser chrome so that they look and feel rather similar to native apps. In other words it shouldn't be
