Apple is known for breaking the mold, we can do that as well, it just takes one good idea, then we have the Redmond Renegades copying us. I was thinking lately about how the desktop should look (I was bored) and I had a great idea: There would be an option to have a transparent to-do list/mail-checker/calendar thing on the desktop. If you requested it, it would say "New Mail Message" when one arrived or "Coffee with Alice coming up in five minutes" when there was a coffee with Alice coming up. Apple started the idea of the icons hinting at you when there was a new event, but we need to take it to the next level. 0_0 I just spent 20 minutes writing an email! shadowh511 -- Ubuntu FTW! -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

Hi, I saw this and felt inspired: http://www.htc.com/ Note that when you look at the interface you see the content - the picture, the calendar, the weather, etc. But if you want to see how much battery you have left it's easy to spot and very clear. The icons and window decoration get out of your way. I like how inactive icons at the bottom are grey and active ones are white. The "new email" icon has a green emblem indicating that it's something you're probably interested in. Presumably different colours are available if instead of "notice" the icon needs to communicate "warning" or "urgent need." -- Matthew Nuzum newz2000 on freenode -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
