I think you need to press "group reply" or something similar to send 
mail to this list.

Oh, sorry. For me the current design is almost okay, but these are the 
things that needs change at least for me:
1. The ICONS on other left side during overview mode will scale to tiny 
pieces when you run many applications. Very ugly. If you have 15 
applications running, what will happen? You need that accessibility 
thing called "magnifying glass."
2. The description of the icons when pressing the application button 
under overview mode is unreadable.

I agree. This is my number 3 that needs changing. This thing inspires me 
to design a kind of desktop (just a drawing) just to my taste but not 
relevant to the current GNOME Shell. Just for fun :)

The old one is mature and old, and we need to make another shell, or 
else GNOME desktop would be completely left out in the dark.
