Glad to hear it -- The effect is there, just not as gaudy as you said.
though it definitely last long enough for me to see the icon explode - it
doesn't quite pulse the way the ibar did -- It's a somewhat
simpler/smoother effect. I know different people will have different
tastes with it and that effect is always themable.
Yep, it's a personal preference thing, although a way to slow it down on
a fast machine would be nice.
Actually I was thinking of the marketing aspect (selling the Linux/E
concept to non-users)...E is probably as close to a Mac's basic launch
interface as you can get in Linux: I have had Mac users sit down at my
desktop system and use it immediately, working on intuition. They get
confused because E (rightly) does not implement the detached menu for
applications, because that is a horrible usability error (possibly Tog?)
I just like people looking at Linux/E and saying "Oh, cool, I can do
that" (shades of Lex in _Jurassic Park_)
It is indeed meant to be luncher. Pun - Luncher! Satisfy your app bar
appetite!
Hmm :-) A lunch bar...🍝🍜🍤🍗🍖🍕🍳🍔🍟🍣🍞🍛🍲🍥🍌🍎🍊
I don't know why we bother with app icons, just use food emojis...
To the user you aren't going to see a lot of differences between the two
systems. There are obvious ones like the menu handling and
resizing/moving/etc... that are different but overall they accomplish the
same thing. Oh btw. Bryce was renamed to "Gadget bar" in git today :)
Umm. I don't think that's a good choice: its principal task is going to
be for launching apps, not gadgets, so I think Gadget Bar is misleading.
Lunch Bar is much tastier :-)
You still haven't said who Bryce was. I'm curious. It's an uncommon name
these days but very ancient (goes back well before the Romans).
The backend is where they are really different and show improvement
and make it a lot easier for developers to write gadgets which means
hopefully in the near future you will see a lot more gadgets
available.
I need to see if Connman is worth using to replace NM first.
