Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Switchboard Restructure
I agree on pretty much all the criticism. It's a nice aesthetic, but functionality wise I think it has to many flaws. Nice effort, but a no-go for me.

Displays are typically landscape, not portrait. Remember, Switchboard is not a static thing, it's extendable meaning that we have no idea how many plugs it will contain. This layout seems more prone to unecessary amounts of scrolling because it doesn't take advantage of the width of the display. Whether it's a small 10-inch display where vertical space is limited or a large 20-inch display where horizontal space is plentiful, this layout just doesn't take advantage. * Filtering just looks really unclear IMO. Not a fan. * The animation here isn't meaningful to me. It says I'm opening a new window and then it doesn't. The swipe animation we had before made more sense because it gives the user a path to follow back: The swipe animation implies a multi-touch gesture and I think it would make sense to have a consistent back/forward swipe gesture in elementary future with the use of NavigationBox. * At this point in the development cycle, we need to not introduce such drastic changes that could introduce new problems. The focus should be on stability, the time for new features and experimental was supposed to end with feature freeze. etc, etc. On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 12:38 PM, Cody Garver c...@elementaryos.org mailto:c...@elementaryos.org wrote: This was proposed for merge before and Disapproved by DanRabbit.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Switchboard Restructure
It's great, but AFAIK any developer can program their very own plug to integrate it with Switchboard. If this is true, I think that eventually Switchboard may be a pain with external plugs --which is unlikely to happen in the current layout. mode. Anyway, I prefer this new layout, it's classier.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Switchboard Restructure
I prefer reading left-to-right rather than top-to-bottom: Category ItemItemItem ... _ Category ItemItemItem ... rather than Category | Category Item | Item Item | Item Item | Item I find it easier to parse and less distracting.

@Cody, I saw that and I wondered why.
