Omg, overlay appearance swiches the context, not the way overlay is called. This overlay flashy appearance disturbes me and many other people very much. The overlay for gnome-shell resembles me cube and wobbly-windows for compiz: it's exciting, it's inconvenient -- it can be done without such a massive redrawing. Here is my list: 1) Expo effect is quite useless. Compiz has its expo called "scale". I've bound it on convenient key combination: Super+Arrow Up. But I'm still using Alt+Tab or taskbar, but not expo, because it turned to be not quite easy to find out windows I need. 2) Dynamic workspace configuration is a pure evil. I have 4 workspaces in 2x2 matrix. I have opened chromium-browser and emacs at #1, two terminals splited vertically in #2, mail client in #4, and #3 is used for little things. -- It's on my job, I've only 2 workspaces at home and rarely use #2. So, I always now what are the current workspace is and how to switch to one I need. Your approach can't provide such a simple way to treat them.
So, you see: I'm using GNU/Linux and gnome at my job, so I need the environment must be comfortable to work with. Metacity doesn't have all the things I need: grid, previews, so I switched to compiz, but speedup animation effects in two times, because the default is too slow. But I'm still use metacity at home, because I don't need grids and animation seems to be a pain in a little while. First I've tried gnome-shell at home and it seemed to be convenient (because I usually use only browser and sometimes gnome-terminal, which I launch with shortcut). But at work It proved to be amateurish stuff without any hope. Guys, admit you wouldn't do animation speed settings, because it's not gnome-way? Today the animations are painfully slow. Gnome needs many improvements: gnome-panel is outdated (for example, places menu doesn't have unmount buttons, there is no spacer, etc), nautilus -- it's too slow and lack of features, etc. In my opinion, the gnome-shell is pointless. 2009/10/17 iain <[email protected]> > On Sat, 2009-10-17 at 00:17 +0100, Bob CFC wrote: > > I can flick my mouse, type CAL+enter quicker > > and easier than three precise menu clicks the old way. > > And for what its worth, the windows key does the same as clicking the > activities button, so you can do it without taking your hands off your > keyboard. > > iain > > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list >
