If you press super+w, then you get a view of your open windows. Pressing super+s or pressing super+numX2, then you get similar views. Since I don't know if these have a collective name, I've chosen to call them superviews for the purpose of this email. They have different things in them; windows

I think the ultimate solution would be a full featured welcome center as shown in the attached mockups and letting people get to do the decision to open Help themselves instead of getting it thrown in their faces. The many benefits of this would be the ability to provide other information as the

[Ayatana] Unity quicklist shortcut

2011-06-03 Thread Travis B. Hartwell
First of all, a big thanks to all of the Unity developers.  I've been loving the user experience ever since I upgraded to Natty.  I'm excited for what is to come. One of the features I really like are the static and dynamic quicklists. However, being a keyboard junkie, I prefer to control things

I think that a tour for ubuntu is a must have. It should be interactive showing users how to do this and this action stepby step. Maybe it could have some links to install codecs, flash player... I also think that Ubuntu should have full translated isos at least for main languages. Il giorno
