Re: Suggestion: Make a dock from application icons in overview



Oh yes, deskbar-applet... I had totally forgot about that one. :)

What do you think about developing this feature as a widget instead of a GTK application? It would make it easier to make it simplistic, it would blend into the rest of gnome-shell better and it would be easier to style with accelerated animations and such. :)

Perhaps we could make a new GUI for deskbar-applet?

doing this, I especially liked deskbar-applet. I read that development
of deskbar has been interruped, so maybe it could be merged in shell,
kind of "adoption" ?

On a side note: One thing that I would LOVE in Gnome Shell is a better
Alt + F2 application launcher (and a more convenient shortcut, such as
Alt + Space) that provides completion while you're typing, and that
has some kind of grammar allowing you to do other things than just
launching binaries. See GNOME Do ( http://do.davebsd.com/ ) for an
example. I tried gnome-launch-box but it doesn't even come close.
Maybe we can add (and improve) gnome-launch-box?

Agree. Using additional methods of launchings apps would mean
something is lacking in the default environment.

I am using docky, too, for this purpose! But this should be a
built-in
feature of the shell, it is a much more consistent experience. For
example, with docky I have to setup application launchers twice, as
well
as other customizations.

         In addition if there is an accidental mouse hover to the

I've been using docky for this purpose.  Which seems to be doing
what
you are asking for.  In addition it also tells me what apps are
open
which if you have a slide in and slide out mechanism it doesn't
allow
for.  (unless of course there is an option to turn it off)  I'm
hesitant to ask for such a feature when docky already seems to
fill
this space.

         +1


         This is exactly what I suggested in a very recent
discussion
         about minimizing windows in gnome-shell.


         This is a extremely simple change that adds the much
needed*
         taskbar to gnome shell.


         *See my post in "Minimizing Windows violates mental model"
for
         details.

                 maybe this is an already known idea, but it could
be
                 possible to make a
                 dock with the list of application icons on the
left
                 side of overview
                 mode. When the mouse touches the left edge of the
                 screen, the list of
                 icons slides in, just like a taskbar, without
                 activating the exposé for
                 windows. I'd really like to see something similar
in
                 gnome-shell!

                 What do you think?
