Is it really necessary to indicate which windows are hidden? I mean if you
cannot see it you can assume that it's hidden or somewhere else. Even if it
is hidden, it can still be accessed with alt+tab or super+("S" is it? I'm
not on a Ubuntu machine at the moment) so there is a minimal practical
difference between a window being hidden or not. I'm using Windows 7 for
games and Adobe Creative Suite and what I can see they don't show which
applications are hidden.2011/5/4 Ed Lin <[email protected]> > Version 0.3: > http://i.imgur.com/O7cfm.png > Sorry... > > On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 3:23 PM, Ed Lin <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 11:47 AM, Niklas Rosenqvist > > <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Can't we continue the discussion here since we are already arguing here? > > > > I think we should split it then, change the subject to something like > > improving Unity for window-centric workflow (was: Idea for improving > > visibility of running applications) > > > >> So what exactly is the mockup showing?
