semantic hide

 

how about this:

when i did a quick unity --replace earlier today, i realized that certain
launchers tucked them selves away later than all the others...
while that was probably a bug.. how about semantic aka selective hiding?

i would find it extremely cool to see those apps which are running disappear
only a bit later than the other launchers.. this would make the launcher
feel useful and smart, it would be "well behaved". Another thing would be to
hide the launchers even faster, when an application (window) is open
maximized in the foreground. The hiding behaviour should be a bit "better",
it would be more polite to either be more transparent above windows and/or
to hide sooner.

what do you think?
are there other hiding features that might be useful for the unity
launchers?
