Re: new layout branch

Thanx for the info. That was helpful

I forgot to mention about the current state of the notifications on the bottom right.. for eg: instant messaging, or Music. It leaves alot to be desired :S
Hopefully that gets revamped up over the next few weeks/months....
looking forward to testing the next build in git ;)

It will change - see the mockups at

No, at least not like gnome-panel. Functionality can be added with
extensions, and themes can change the appearance.

There's currently no user-friendly way for doing either of those, and it
likely will not be implemented in the 3.0 time frame (I am referring to
a UI, the features itself are implemented).

Yes, the dash will be improved in the following weeks - both on the
inside (efficiency) and outside (appearance).

This is a GTK+ bug in GtkIconView. It is not supposed to look like that,
but the problem is not trivial (I've been told ...)

There is a patch in bugzilla:

No. The extra spacing was added by the designers to emulate the filter
list - once the patch mentioned above lands, the spacing will look
right :-)

None that I'm aware of. There will be work on the menu's content, but I
haven't heard much criticism on the looks so far.
(Just in case you are using an RTL locale - it is not displayed as
intended there and will be fixed)
