[Touch-packages] [Bug 1671095] Re: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design]
Ha. It just hides the left-most stuff. Clearly Apple think this scenario is so unlikely they don't try and handle it too cleverly. To be fair I did have to set the resolution to 720p (the lowest it will go) and spend 10 minutes finding new indicators to add, and showing "full date, including seconds" in the time indicator. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671095 Title: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design] Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.

Fair enough. /me has a look what OSX does, given our indicators are very similar to those. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671095 Title: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design] Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.

I don't think Unity designs like clickable arrows, see launcher, at least :) ** Changed in: canonical-devices-system-image Milestone: None => u8c-2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671095 Title: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design] Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1671095] Re: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design]
I like those designs :) May we could have clickable arrows to scroll the region left and right in the case the screen resolution was too low to show them all? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671095 Title: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design] Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.

I actually believe we have most of what we need in here: https://sites.google.com/a/canonical.com/apps-and-platform-team/8-shell /indicator-reveal The only (I think) unanswered question is what to do with hidden indicators. Should they be always visible when there's space available? What if there is not enough space? Auto-scroll similarly to the launcher? Maybe they show up on mouse hover? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1671095 Title: Indicator menus difficult to navigate on desktop [design] Status in Canonical System Image: In Progress Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: I've tried to include some screenshots here, to illustrate my point.
