Hi, this is not a developers view. I'm just a user, so if you think what I suggest can't be done or is not good, just ignore it, please.
We could implement more panel plugins like in DreamLinux.
Yes. First, it looks good on screenshots. Second, most of us will use them anyway. This is what I would definitely start with: Mailwatcher, CPU-Graph, Battery Monitor (on Laptops :-), no clock, but orage-clock, Network Monitor (one for each device), System Load Monitor, Volume Control They fit very well on a single panel. If you want a screenshot, have a look here: <http://xubuntix.blogspot.com/>http://xubuntix.blogspot.com/ And just for the eye-candy sake, why not include something like the cairo-clock by default? We could implement search tools like in zenwalk. I don't like beagle, so I would be happy with something else. And yes, I have missed it. We could implement a better working combination of the programs like in
dreamlinux and zenwalk.
Not sure what you mean, but it sounds good :-)
What do you guy's think?
Ok, some additional stuff: - A Xubuntu-Help-Center (on the desktop, as a launcher), that guides new users through: first, looking at the faq and mailing archives; second, help them to ask at the mailing list (with buttons to include xorg.conf or similar stuff in the mail), and third: help them to file a bug report! And just a general comment about all the new-look, menu-button, gnome-clone thing, that was on this mailing list for some time: Yes, I would love to see more cool stuff, a better icon theme (I use one of the human-fancy in blue), murrina with the configurator. Dreamlinux seems to rock: when you visit their website, everything is shiny and cool... Xubuntu looks a bit like a gnome-clone. So the first things I do after installing is: remove one panel, change the icon theme, change the gtk theme, change the window theme, install a new cursor theme (Chameleon-White). I would also not use a menu-button, because Windows has one! We don't want Windows and we don't want to look like Windows! And by the way, I don't run Xfce because I have old hardware, but because I think it's far superior to gnome and kde. I hate all this pop-up infos in gnome, and all those useless sidebars in kde. Xfce does what I want it to do and very fast, and that is a feature, even on new hardware! Hope this helps to see the "users view", at least mine...
