Hey All ~
You might have see that Big Board [1] is using the Deskbar applet to
handle it's searching. We were going to look into patching it to
display some light background text when unfocused. One thing I'd like
to display to the user is the shortcut key, it helps people to learn
what keys to use in order to access the deskbar. I also added the word
"Search" in front of it to give another hint as to what the entry is
for. See the attachment for the mockup. I think we might go with a
little bit lighter text color, but that's the basic format. And the
Ctrl-Backspace is just a large sample key phrase, I don't think that's
the actual one we're going to use. :)
Like you see in a lot of web sites and applications the text would
disappear when the entry was focused and reappear when the entry is
unfocused with out any text left in it.
What do you guys think?
Cheers,
~ Bryan
