Re: [Ayatana] Me & Messaging Indicator Menu



Hi everyone,

I thought of Tabs, and i still do, i guess i just wanted to prove to myself that all this stuff fints vertically into one single unified menu.
Making it pretty to reduce clutter and confusion is the next step.
Tabs would appear as a block of Icons In the panel.

Tabs inside a menu don't look nice, imo.
Tabs on the panel: then, which are the difference between having different indicators/menus in the panel?

I don't think it would be a good idea to unit Me and Messaging Menu on a single Menu, it looks too cluttered.
I prefer to properly separate the functions (not services) on each of the Menus:
* Messaging Menu: inbox (get new mail, get new IM, get social messages, etc..)
* Me Menu: outbox (set presence status, write new mail, write new IM messages, broadcast new "social message", etc...)

And maybe it could be a good idea to put them two together on the panel, without the Time/Date Menu between them as it is now.
 
Cheers!
