I posted a launcher design sketch on how the workspace switcher/scale could
be better implemented into the launcher in the Global menu in Oneric Ocelot
(11.10) thread. Take a look!

If this won't work then maybe we could just move the whole top panel to the

Here's an idea I just had: we could put icons next to each other, in
violation of Fitts's Law, when we have a single menu for all of them
which can be accessed by clicking on anywhere on the area, from screen
edge to launcher
Here's my third round of mockups based on some of the ideas floating around.

Particular ideas visualized:
http://fav.me/d3h14ui -- Global-menu has turned into Maximode-menu, it is
only visible when a window is maximized, and it only shows the menus of the
maximized window,
The purpose would be more space to move around on, place windows there etc.
If the Global menu is made redundant by a menu-toggler, then there's no
reason to waste about 25x(x-resolution) of pixels drawing a panel that is
only used when an application is maximized. From a purely personal view I'd
I already said this but I'll repeat it to prevent being misunderstood:
I maintain that Fitts's Law is absolutely accurate and helpful for
what it describes. The problem is that it doesn't describe all factors
necessary for a full assessment and is often applied in a too simple

This would give us a very consistent and structured layout. The
launcher would consist of icons all having the same size (including
the BFB) and the context- menu/dash/lenses would all follow the same
theme and design.
That's exactly the problem I tried

Do you really think that? Four launchers are in my view a lot of extra
launchers. What I tried to achieve with
