Hi, I'm completely new to all of this - so please give me some leeway if I say anything dumb!
I like new wave - it certainly is beginning to look like a complete system. I just wondered that is looked very OSXy with Vista-type transparencies. I just mean to say it isn't very groundbreaking. Maybe this isn't the right place to ask this but with the proliferation of the glassy look and transparencies I just wondered if we should think about it all from the ground up a bit. I mean I get that inactive windows gain some translucence but why? Wouldn't it be better if we made alerts appear with a translucent background - they are not working windows but notices - so making them translucent makes them not interfere so much.... Also I wondered about title bars. There is more real-estate left-to- right than top-and-bottom. What if windows stacked that way and title bars were at the left (maybe the top panel and bottom panels left and right too). This would also make stacked menus expand in one direction (if you see what I mean). Are these sorts of changes possible - can I mock things like this up or is it a waste of time? Thanks!
