** Description changed: Add 'launching' state to launcher icons Description: 1. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Dash Application Lens, the Launcher should use the 'startup notification protocol' to *instantly* place a icon for the application in the launcher (in the 'launching' state). As soon as the app has finished launching, the Launcher icon should switch to the 'running' state. 2. As soon as a user clicks on a app in the Launcher that is not running, the Launcher icon should instantaneously switch to the 'launching' state. As soon as the app has finished launching, the Launcher icon should instantly switch to the 'running' state. The following art assets will be attached to this bug: 1. Add 'launching' placeholder Launcher icon to handle the case where we know an app has launched but we don't have it's icon. *important* - this icon should only be used when we know an app has been launched but we don't know its icon. If we can get the application's icon quickly we should use this correct icon instead. https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/launcher/unity_desktop_26_01_11_stages_fixed_10.png (note the outer glow shown in this same design is not the correct cursor select state, for the correct cursor select state see https://chinstrap.canonical.com/~sabdfl/11_04/desktop_and_netbook/launcher/select/ ) Notes: - we flash the backlight of the icon during launch - as soon as we have startup notification, we create an item in the launcher, in grayscale, and start flashing its backlight - as soon as we know the desktop file and hence icon, we transition to the icon backlight from grayscale to an appropriate colouring based on the icon Finally we need a instant "flash" on click. See bug #893140 for a full description of this instant feedback issue. + + [Changes] + + Add startup notification support for bamf and unity. This includes + modifying the Bamf API to include a "starting" property for BamfViews. + + [Benefits] + + The user will notice that the system is actually doing something when an + application is launched from the dash and the applications takes several + seconds to open (e.g. chrom*, firefox). + + [Potential Regressions] + None.
