Re: Thoughts on Unity design

 

I have one point of criticism about the global menubar that I have not read about here.
I'm using two monitors and I think that Gnome2 did a particularly good 
jobs there. I could easily grab a window by the title bar and drag it 
across monitors and workspaces. Maximizing and minimizing application 
windows could be done in a matter of split seconds.
Now that maximized windows don't really have a distinct title bar in 
Unity, it is very inconvenient to find a spot where I can actually grab 
the window. Especially because you don't see where exactly the menu is 
unless you point the mouse there.
One thing which is great about two multiple monitors and Unity, though, 
is that you have volume control, wireless, power button, etc. on every 
screen now.
Cheers Felix
