Hello everybody and happy new year. Recently I have seen and tested the new Gnome Shell. Woaw, it's very better than the old. O_o Really good job. It fixes many problems from the old. I also rediscover somes good features. I specially like the idea to separate system notifications (on the top right) and applications notifications (on the buttom). A little question: Is it planned to can move the time indocator from the middle to the right on settings? Because now, a little and single black bar on the top with system notification on right and time on the middle reminder the iPad Shell. :( The new gnome-ghell is amazing but, however, the old Gnome-Shell was better to manage workspaces. The new it's better if you have only-one workspace or if you stay on one workspace, but if you want to manage some workspaces, move window from one workspace to another or have an overall view of all your winodows and workspace the old Gnome-Shell was better. For this, I have a little idea: In the "windows" section, in the new Gnome-Shell[1], we can have 2 zoom levels. On the level 0 we see all windows opened on the current workspace like now and on the level 1 we see all warkspaces and all windows opened on each workspeace like on the old Gnome-Shell. If you are on level 0 and have many workspaces, you can switch to workspace what you want, like now, but can't create or delete workspace. For this, you must to go to the level 1 and now you can create or delete workspace and decide if you organise they like a line or like a square. What do you think? The manner to select window with the mouse (the section "windows" on "activities") is very good for beginners or if you don't know who is the window you search. But if you are a regular user and you know which window you want it becomes borring. :( The Alt+Tab could be the hero for this situation, but it's longer than the "list of windows" on Gnome-Panels. And it need a kayboard (unsuitable to Tablet PC). I realy think Gnome Shell must have a solution to switch quickly between windows with mouse or finger like a simply list of windows. We can't make a mix with the notifiactions system (the notifications system on the bottom, not on the top)? Add a simple lsit of windows on the bottom? After 5 minutes of the test, I don't see a "Shortcuts" section like in old Gnome-Shell or in Gnome-Panels. It was killed or it's planned to add this on a section (like for windows and applications)? To finish this mail, I dont understand the logic to put system settings and system shutdow behind the user name (on the right of the top panel). I think this user name must manage only what is relevant to the user, like the "presence" (available, away, etc), change user, deconnect user, etc and system (settings, shutdown and info) need his own button. (icon and/or text (The Gnome logo?)). What do you think? This is just some personal thinking and not an attack to the project, so don't ignor it. ------------------------------------- [1](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/GNOME_Shell.png/750px-GNOME_Shell.png) -- Gendre Sebastien <korbe romandie com>
