Re: [Ubuntu-phone] Toolbar will be disabled by default!

 

It doesn't seem like the 14.10 developer pages say that the Toolbar is
depreciated.  I didn't know until this email.  The Ubuntu App Design Guide
pages don't seem to reflect that either, besides that blog post.  I may be
just jumping the gun.  I know this is all pretty new. Great stuff by the
way!

Has the bottom edge stuff made it into the Ubuntu Components yet or am I
just blind?
