IMHO, having custom (user created, not default) shortcuts placed on the desktop is a legacy from ancient desktops and it always is complicated to use them if you have maximized apps (they are below the maximized app).
There is a limit to how many shortcuts one can have in the launcher bar in a usable form. A portion of users also need shortcuts with text, something the launcher bar can't fulfill (name displays only on hover). Allowing the Shortcuts area to have real Shortcuts produces a gain in productivity (no need to minimize apps and find your shortcuts), an extension to the launcher bar and, at the very least, some degree of user customization, which is now something that has to be addressed. Code-wise the change is very small (less than 20 lines of code added). I can easily put this into lens. What is beginning to worry me is that, is all normal things, like having custom shortcuts, is gonna require lens, we're gonna need a larger lens bar soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/885738 Title: Dash - Remove Dash Home shortcut icons To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/885738/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
