mac_vEquiet: hi.. pinged mpt regarding your mockups... he said he'll follow up :)17:53
Equietmac_v: Thank you. What exactly means follow up?17:53
mac_vEquiet: comment about it or request changes ...17:54
EquietHave you tried Gnome Shell?18:00
mac_vyup...18:00
EquietAnd what do you think?18:01
mac_vas of now , i would say isnt very ideal18:01
thorwilsadly dropping the concept is not seen as an option18:36
EquietWhy to drop it?18:38
thorwilEquiet: since it is not clearly better, it should be tested with actual users to see how they fare (in comparison with the current setup).18:41
thorwilEquiet: if it doesn't show to be clearly better, it should be dropped18:41
thorwilEquiet: however, my worry is that that option will not be considered18:42
EquietI agree, that it's not very intuitive, so it shouldn't be enabled by default, but I like it. With a good shortcut and little changes it could be nice work.18:46
thorwilEquiet: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-shell-list/2009-December/msg00124.html18:46
EquietAt least, it is something, that is not stolen from other OSs.18:49
thorwilEquiet: "intuitive" is a highly problematic term, anyway. what is and isn't intuitive depends on past experience, making it somewhat subjective. some claim: "the only intuitive interface is the nipple", but not even that is entirely accurate, as even there learning is involved18:49
thorwil"unique" does not trump "good"18:50
EquietBut it's still better than Vista glossy buttons and OS X's Application menu in top bar.18:51
EquietUser has to find out, that for running apps he needs to click Activities, so it's not intuitive for me.18:52
thorwilEquiet: better by what measure?18:53
EquietWell, you're right. Better is another problematic term.18:56
EquietBrb.18:56
