Mockups, eh? Well, here are a few to look at. Firstly, I have indeed been very very slowly poking at the application switcher thought as a panel applet. Not really anywhere far yet, but this discussion got me opening up the project again. I guess that's a step in the right direction...
I am toying with a button-looking container with some toggle buttons within for each process. The one you see here is really just an ugly hack (and a mockup, obviously), but it shows the idea: http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2454/screenshotmainpyoq9.png The icon on the left is for the process, while the other two text labels are its open windows. Icons for individual windows are sadly not happening... something creative will have to be done. Robin.com.au's very clever mockup is what got me going on this precise tangent: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=320315 -Dylan On Sun, Feb 10, 2008 at 1:45 PM, Andrew Laignel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Álvaro Medina Ballester wrote: > > If Ubuntu is going to lead GNU/Linux revolution, let's start thinking > > some things, lets make some specifications, let's design a new gui for > > gnome and let's help gnome's team to develop it! > > > > > > I'm glad to know that there are a lot of people interested in this :) > > > > > > Cheers! > > > I'll try to reply to the rest tomorrow - gotta go to bed now.
