Re: File Transfers in Shell Panel

[Justin Joseph <justin manj gmail com>]

This sounds a good idea. Though, I am not sure about the colour usage and icon selection.

May be this could go with the content transfers* design page (The main goal of transfers is app-app transfer, still...)
* https://live.gnome.org/GnomeOS/Design/Whiteboards/Transfers

My 2 cents...

Thanks,
Justin

Hi,

I apologize if this is not the place to discuss the topic. Though originally a skeptic, I'm really impressed with the novelty and design of Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell. Thank you for all of your work!

The file transfer progress window has always bothered me. And the new Gnome environment only exaggerates its awkwardness. For the most part I really just want to know when the process is complete and I don't think a small window – even though it disappears when the process is complete – is the best solution.

Perhaps the Gnome desktop team already has a plan to improve this aspect of the user interface, but I wanted to share this mockup of moving the file transfer progress window into the shell panel in case it is useful:

Thanks for listening.
