Docks are a problem (though the rest seems alright)<br>1) None of the docks out there work properly without compositing<br>2) None seem to be stable<br>3) They are not actually as good as a task bar (in many people's opinion)<br>
4) The implementations that I have seen do not work as well as apples dock (which is only barley functional enough to be usable).<br>5) They take up way to much screen space for the functionality they offer (e.g. if you run several document windows you have a screen full of open office icons but no way to differentiate between them).<br>
So from these points I think docks would not be a good way to go (but if there is space I definitely thing they should be included, after all they are popular amongst some people, especially Mac refugees.<br><br>I do think the rest of your suggestions were quite valid though, good ideas (at least worth including over some of the themes that come included with Ubuntu).<br>

Good, i think i could be here (i hope).<br><br>The recent wallpaper "kuti heron" is a verry good idea...<br>(black for ubuntustudio / brown for ubuntu / bleue for kubuntu);<br>with the 3D effect (and 3D icones) by default when the PC could,<br>
with cairo-dock & with ubuntu tweak... <br>& with a theme like murrina-leopardish modified or orange-linstablacplastic...<br>...i think it will be verry good.<br><br><br>What do you think about it ?<br><br>Sam7<br>

Hi all,<br><br>We are slightly overdue for the next meeting. I suggest this Friday at 20:00<br>UTC. Is this too soon for anyone? Too early/late? Ideas?<br><br>Items for discussion are:<br><br>1) recent wallpaper submissions, testing by inclusion in the next build, etc.<br>
<br>2) 2D icons: currently underway, I am leaning towards using the simple 2D<br>version for several reasons. Let's discuss this and find a way to move<br>forward.<br><br>3) Testing the clear looks theme, adding to next build.<br>
<br>...more to come<br><br><br>--<br>Kenneth<br><br>--<br>ubuntu-art mailing list<br><a href="mailto:ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com</a><br>
