[Bug 633073] Re: Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input
With the current design in Natty I think this report can be considered obsolete.

Re: [Bug 633073] Re: Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input
Thanks for the screenshots. As Omer points out, some of the problem there is a visual artifact of a separate bug. However, I do think you have a point, in that the relationship between the Dash Home screen (the one you get when you click on the Ubuntu button) and the various Places isn't extremely clear. Also, that the direct links on that screen don't necessarily lead to all the things people want. The search isn't clearly a files apps search, for example, it just says Search. We could do more with that top part of the screen to say what you can search for. Will you be at UDS? We could do an in-person design round there to look at refinements to the Home screen. Alternatively, would you put some thought into how that top part of the Home screen could be improved, and attach a wireframe to this bug, or send it to the Ayatana list?

Mark, I am not in a position to go to UDS, but would love to contribute what I can to the UI development (I am not a programmer). I have attached 2 images of how I feel Unity can be much more accessible. This should be workable for touch, mouse, landscape and portrait.

if you want to directly access 'system' section right click on the 'applications' icon in the launcher and select system. -- Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/633073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Michael, the Application Place provides direct access to the generic categories of installed and available applications. -- Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/633073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 633073] Re: Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input
Thanks Omer and Mark. Please let me know if there is a better place to file and discuss this. Right clicking on the 'applications' icon brings up only a limited menu which varies in scope. If clicked when an app with a white background is open, the options are invisvible (see screenshots) This workflow is not obvious (especially when you are used to associating access to your applications and settings with the Ubuntu logo). In my case, due to my bug report #633094, this icon was off the screen with no obvious identity as a system function. This raises the question of why the Ubuntu logo does anything at all if it is only duplicating the functionality of another button - only slightly differently? In my opinion, icons giving access to system menus should be top of the list, not 'foldable' and graphically very obvious that they are not an application launcher. Thanks for the bold new concept in netbooks. Hope my comments are useful. ** Attachment added: Workspace 1_001.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/633073/+attachment/1556939/+files/Workspace%201_001.png -- Main menu does not display sub-categories next to search input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/633073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
