I decided to prototype an extensions based on Jimmac’s mockups. I still need to fix some minor issues and add animations. It is not perfect yet and is a bit different from the original design:
Applications Icon is on the top of the bar instead of the bottom (seemed more comfortable for me)
Searchbar is centered (I …
This month Collabora has been sponsering zeitgeist for one year, here is the story about how that came to be and what happened during that year.
How I got in contact with Collabora?
I met Rob McQueen, Phillippe Khalaf, Sjoerd and some from the Telepathy team during Gran Canaria Desktop summit. I needed help with an …
This post is by no means meant to be criticism, but rather an opinion on raising questions we couldn’t get answers to.
So on day 2 I got Federico Mena and Garrett LeSage to try out my prototype. While we noticed some nice features there were also some very unclear ones too. Today we concentrated …
The great and fun gedit crew have accepted my proposal to include the Dashboard into their plugins repository.
Now you will find it under:
git clone git://git.gnome.org/gedit-plugins
We removed some dependencies and relied on GNOME common tools. We will continue fixing minor issues with the plugin as well as fixing some gedit bugs (the gedit crew is …
The title says it all… You can read the announcement on Michal Hruby’s blog post. Zeitgeist has been ported from Python to Vala with its latest 0.9 cycle

So over the weekend “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious” Hylke Bons and I joined forces (just like during the GAJ days) to work more on the design of the Dash…
The gedit team gave some very good feedback till now, and I will be doing some work on Gedit soon
However back to the design and implementation work I am doing …
Last February during the Zeitgeist hackfest my former GSoC student Michal Hruby convinced me to hack a dash for gedit (it was for gedit 2 sadly) that looked like this…
Today based on the mockups of my previous post i rewrote it to work with the latest gedit. Its 90% working now but I am …
I am working on a dashboard (start page) for gedit… My initial idea looks something like this
(the thumbnails will view some parts of the content of the file)
We are not sure that for gedit that ”Frequent” is of interest for us, that maybe we can be happy just with Frequent… However before we take …
Now that functionally thing are looking more stable with the extensions, I took some time to improve the visuals based on feedback by the one and only Hylke Bons…
This iteration was about making the extensions look like the rest of GNOME Shell… The guideline here was the “search view”, which reduces clutter. Also the …
