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

 

Hi there,

I like it!!

But maybe the workspace switcher would fit better on the "applications view"
of the launcher, instead of in the "dash view"?
It is used to switch between workspaces and opened applications, so it does
not belong to the dash view... at least imo.

Thanks for your mockup and cheers!
