Hi everybody, I'm a developer and system maintainer of different companies.
Since Gnome Shell is not the best choice for corporate usage(Not intuitive, time wasting and not compatible with a productive environment) , I decided to give Gnome 3(Fallback session) a chance.I successfully made it look like the gnome 2.3x. It seems to work flawlessly, but some features are missing (almost 50% of previous versions of gnome).The problem seems to be (Temporary) solved. The companies represented by me use Gnome since vercion 2.16, now they are forced to ''learn'' the ''new gnome'' or switch to another DE.
I heard some rumors:Is it true that Gnome 3 fallback session will not be developed/maintained anymore?
I'm looking for a solution. Thank you in advance for your answers, Regards On 02/20/2012 08:31 PM, [email protected] wrote:

As far as i understand, you want to see some kind of tiling functionality in gome, maybe something like this https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/28/gtile/? Just for inspiration: I once saw a tiling manager for OSX (unfortunately i don't remember the name) which placed a button - opening a small tinling menu similar to gtile - on the opposite side of the Min,Max,Close Buttons, like this: tiling Am 16.02.2012 01:52, schrieb Pawe? Kubik:I'm sure that most of you have already seen some kind of IDE like Anjuta or Eclipse, but maybe it's also featured by other applications. The basic concept is that we have one main window and few other which can be placed on the edges of the first one. That concept is being used for years. We can say that it's "must have" for programming environment. It's simply very practical and easy to use. If we have trusted solution why don't implement it in the desktop? Some time ago I wanted to tweak my Fedora with some commands from the web. I moved the terminal to the right edge and browser to the left to make them both fill half of the screen. The browser required quite more space so I had to resize two windows one after another. It would be much easier if I could resize both of them in the same time. There is no need to uncover my desktop. Or another example. You are operating on in few window. Moving, copying, deleting. You need three windows opened in the same time and terminal (let's say that you have to change some permissions for example). You drag each of them to edge of the screen and it's done. I don't have to write how useful would it be for GIMP users. Let's combine it with dock hiding feature. I can imagine how many other improvements could be made basing on this one. For example you have nautilus hidden on the edge. You select some text or an image and drag it into a folder in the file manager to save it in proper format (it doesn't work like this right now, but we could do something about it). Imagine how easy would it be to collect resources for any kind of work? That would greatly increase usability of Gnome, wouldn't it? _______________________________________________ usability mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability_______________________________________________ usability mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability It's very good idea, however we could make it easier. What would you say for Blender like space management? You can click on that "+" in circle in the upper right corner of the 3d view, and drag it left or down to add new wiev horizontally or vertically. To remove view you simply need to drag border of specific view until it completely disaprears. Let's imagine that you have desktop divided to views that way and you have one maximised window in any of them. It would provide much easier and more flexible desktop management than tilling.-------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: <CAJtGEB1ccHKL=gptxtdn+oajxfuukjegxfndntu6holq5l6...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" I don't know much about gnome development. I am just giving some thoughts. I think we could bound some window variables like position and size to corresponding variables of "views". The rest is simply representing those things as desktop objects (I mean divisional lines between them). They must be visible, and allow dragging. There must be also some statements which causes that resized to minimum disappears from the memory and dragging circles adds new one's. I think it should work. I could think about something like this myself but I don't have any knowledge about the API, what really upsets me. If anyone know some materials which would help me get that knowledge simply let me know. I'd be grateful. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
