Re: [Ayatana] A realistic vision of the next iteration of Unity

Thanks for the positive feedback! I actually included the minimize/close/windows titles for the spread view:

But the other points you brought up are of course of great importance as well, it was just really hard remembering everything I wanted to write down :) But I totally agree on those.

And Arian, I will look into the design document and see if and when I can add something there, though I think the best solution would be a full fledged, unified, I/O platform for the future. Great initiative though!

What of my points could be added to LP so that we don't get duplicate entries? And does adding feature requests to LP really do any difference?

Great post! Thank you for the nice mockups too!

Absolutely no idea if this is considered "realistic" but lets hope so.
I really have no critical feedback (so far) just a few amendments:

Compiz should get some love
see "Remember window positions"

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/124315

minimize/close/windows titles for the spread view:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/783498

and finally, less important: Unity should be completely theme-able,
including panel, launcher and dash. I can't help it but I don't like
Ambiance and anything else looks out of place (if it doesn't outright
break something, just an example:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/776697)

All of this is already in LP so how do we proceed with the stuff that
isn't? For this reason your last point ("A unified Ubuntu design and
development platform") should actually be the first ;)
