Re: [Ayatana] No one will ever use the upper-left Ubuntu button



I like it a lot !

With configuration, for those who choose not hiding the dock, to have by default applications launchers, one click on Ubuntu icon switches to dock with Dash, Places, virtual desktops, trash..., another click re-switch back to applications icons etc...

It leaves more space on launcher dock to put many applications icons, perfect.

Okay, here is a more elaborate mockup of what I intended, built on top of David Reichling's preliminary mockup (thanks btw!). Unfortunately I don't have anywhere to host it, so I'm just attaching it as an archive. If someone could put it up somewhere that would be great. As it is it can be used locally (it's only html and _javascript_). I've tested it only in Chromium browser and on a netbook screen, so if it comes out wacky it's probably my fault. Cheers!

I really like the flipping* dock idea, it declutters the "application
area", I like the separation of applications and places. It's touch
friendly, easily discoverable (well, as discoverable as the Dash...)
and simple. What's not to like?

Luke.

*Obviously, a vertical rotation of the dock around the Y-axis would
look awesome!
