Perhaps something along the lines of this? This was fairly quick and based off some ideas I've had -- small gutters much like those that separate menubars in applications. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Borgmann [mailto:daniel borgmann gmail com] Sent: Thursday, July 14, 2005 2:01 PM To: David Zulaica Cc: Alan Horkan; usability gnome org Subject: Re: [Usability] Mezzo interface [was Re: nautilus ... ] On 7/14/05, David Zulaica <david pseudo-cyb org> wrote: > >Having the trashcan and the show desktop buttons in the corners is a > >simply matter of configuring a panel correctly and adding only one item to > >it. > > Not quite.

The margin is always purely visual, so you can still blindly throw your cursor into the corner. BTW, in current Clearlooks we draw an additional shadow line around the buttons which may _look_ like a margin, but it's not. We could probably drop it for buttons on panels, but I doubt whether this would be worth it (normal buttons "glued" to each other look rather messy and unprofessional). If there are any good suggestions for alternative button rendering on panels, we are always listening! Daniel
