Re: Sliding desktop

 

I find the dash really unbearably slow these days (since updates to 12.10 i think), and i tried to remove the blur, and found it to be still very slow, so there must be something more (and my computer is 6 cores with 8GB ram, my gpu is the onboard Radeon HD 4250 with free driver, it shouldn't be that slow… i think i'll try to remove the amazon (and friends) search, to see if it changes something.

I have always found turning blur off via CCSM makes the dash much more
responsive (though completely unusable) so yes it does seem to make a
lot of difference.
And anything that can improve responsiveness of a major component such
as the dash should be seriously considered.

Is it really the blur that's causing slowdowns though? From conversations
I've had with Unity engineers, the blur is not a particularly intensive
effect, Atty least not in the way that Unity implements it. Remember, just
because Window's blur is slow, doesn't mean Unity's will be as well.

I have made a really quick mockup about what i think would solve 2 things
i dont like about the current implementation of unity.

The blurred dash slows down the overall unity experience. Especially on
non-intel devices and while runnung dynamically rendered content (video or
games).
The close button is in the corner in place of the ubuntu logo right now.

What do you think?

I'd take any alternative over the blur, in my experience its unusable slow
on any chips pre-sandybridge. For example my older laptop has intel ironlake
and the dash blur makes unity totally unusable.
