Re: [Ayatana] A rather radical Unity design idea with mockups

["Stefanos A." <stapostol@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Eylem,

it would be interesting if you could try a slight variation of the first mockup: the Ubuntu button at the bottom-left (like it already is) but the application launchers aligned on top (like they are in the default Unity layout). Right now, the mockup feels somewhat unbalanced with the large 'black' space directly below the panel. Moving the icons upwards would fix that.

The second mockup really doesn't work very well on my laptop. It has a 1366x768 monitor and vertical space is a preciously scarce resource. Losing ~60 pixels of screen estate in toolbars is not really acceptable (this is why the left-sided placement of the Unity launcher is great).
