[UX] Slim down drop-down menu #80

Open gnu1dea opened 3 years ago

gnu1dea commented 3 years ago

Please consider simplifying it to only show actions that're frequently used and useful to quickly change, like:

everything else's already in Settings.

*What's the point of giving the option to disable the Daemon? Wouldn't a Pause button in the drop-down be more intuitive, since disabling the daemon just seems to stop the automatic rotation (and selecting Disabled in Rotation Mode doesn't seem to disable the daemon aswell).

… additional UX thoughts: The AppIndicator icon is too delicate to identify/recognise easily: I've vectorised it (now it's only 1/12 of its size) and made contrasting versions (so it fits with the other status bar icons) https://gist.github.com/gnu1dea/07691c3f75eeb09eb4ba82ee4ff89841

https://github.com/BigE/desk-changer/issues/46: for example change in Settings/Daemon/Rotation Mode the options to: 1 min, 30 min, hourly, 6 h, daily, weekly, monthly, time-based https://github.com/BigE/desk-changer/issues/5, custom, disabled and under it directly the Custom interval (in seconds) setting.

Thanks a lot for your great work and time; & thanks for reading.

Hi, I'm terrible at keeping up with this project. Life happens?

I really appreciate your thoughts here and would like to address them all fairly. I'm not personally a UX person, so I also appreciate the perspective. I'll take some time, very soon, to go through your suggestions here and gather my thoughts. I would also love to hear what anyone else has to say on the subject. Also, please don't think any of this has fallen off my radar.. I just don't spend a lot of "spare" time actually at a computer anymore.

Thank you for your input!

Thank you again for your input. I've taken a lot into consideration with Version 31 and plan to do more improvements in the future. Leaving this open for future reference.

Please could you add again the option of daemon running , remember profile state or notifications, to actual versions for gnome 40 or gnome 3.38 please, like it was before, with out having to go settings like now. Im reffering to this:

Thanks for all the effort you are putting in this extension.

Hi, I do think it would be a good idea to add all of the "extension" specific settings back into the extension itself. I'll take a look at doing this with the next release, since I've just released a version that supports 45. Thanks for the feedback!
