Re: [Ayatana] Windicators



It'll be a little easier to come up with user stories when we have some idea of what the windicators will actually be. :D It'd be nice to get a nice big set of basic ideas of what should and what shouldn't be in a windicator.

Somewhat contrived user story: suppose I have a whole bunch of applications open, and all of them have some sort of audio playing,  and all of them have a volume level windicator. If one application starts playing some sound too loud, I can see -- while I'm alt-tabbing -- what the respective sound levels of all my applications are. If the windicators are only rendered nativly in the window, it will be too small to see or be useful. But, if the windicators are larger, then I can quickly see which window is too loud, switch to it, and fix it.

I'm sure that there are much better examples of why enlarging windicators when windows are iconified is a good idea, but this was ay the top of my head ;)

well, if you need to ask like that, check: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/333

otherwise perhaps you misunderstood, or i misunderstood.
it's 1:1 scale, meaning the windicators are shown in their usual size, even while their respective window is scaled down to what have you..
