Simply won’t install frome the gnome-extensions website. Could you look into this and maybe provide a fix. It has been such a great help and i’m missing it

I would totally use it – please take care of handling the situation wheen there are a lot of icons there (both apps and notifications). and also separate the notifications from the the launcher part (the tablet ui of android does it really well).

I find the standard MessageTray behaviour very annoying, when hovering on the bottom of the desktop. It would be interesting to have an overlaying tray in normal view (transparent, like in overlay view, sliding in without moving the all desktop up).

Just add 10 more launchers and you’ll also have another problem…

Kind of reminds me of gnome-shell… progress by “playing around” UI metaphors in releases instead of architectured planned and user-tested UI before starting.

Now, if the category menu could be moved to the left, aligned bottom… :D

Now rename the “Dash” to “Dock” and the “Activities” to “Expose”, move the notifications a bit and you have an almost usable desktop experience again. Oh wait. You still need to get rid of that depressing default theme and make the fonts of shell coherent to the Gtk fonts again and … Ah forget it. I’m just trolling.

I imagine something like Chrome OS recently made: just one simple and really great designed panel at the bottom. GNOME could have two official layouts: one for mobile devices, and one for desktop, sharing most of components. Why not? After using GNOME from version 3.2 I realized that “one fits all” is not working. One example: the hot corner; first I thought it’s cool. Now I see that I became much slower and unnaturally carefull when moving my cursor. That’s because of avoiding trigerring overview while chosing some very important buttons like “back” in Web browser etc. So… you just proved, as Cinnamon did, that making alternative layout is hard but doable. I wish GNOME made something like that official. Desing Team could eventually polish this to something really simple, great and usable, just like ElementaryOS made Plank — the dock. Push this upstream (to Design Team) if you can. :-)

How about creating a notification container with a standard “Information” symbol (yeah, quite similar to KDE, I must admit it, they have some things right)?
