[ubuntu-art] Concepts outside the scope of theming

[Thorsten Wilms]

Hi!

We have this new page in Incoming/Karmic:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/Karmic/UserInteraction

This is all outside of the scope of theming and artwork in that it would
require rather deep technical changes. This means that even if
developers would run with it, it would be very unlikely to be ready for
Karmic. Experience suggests that nobody will do anything with it.

I suggest we keep concepts of this kind outside of the current cycle's
Incoming directory.

Should we outright discourage work of this kind? I think no, maybe
someday we will see something game-changing :)

So I propose to create Incoming/Concepts for this page and similar to
follow.


dael99: Are you reading?

Regarding a single panel, this has be left to the people at Canonical. I
doubt anyone can offer a new argument here.

Regarding mixing titlebar and menubar, this idea comes up again and
again. Could work in some cases, but you have to deal with long
filenames in window titles  and also long menus, so it should be one or
2 bars depending on the space required/offered.

A short description and 1 or 2 mockups has never been enough to make
this happen.
