Unity Hud is moved out of the screen #3

Closed koraa closed 12 years ago

koraa commented 12 years ago

The unity hud is moved done together with the launcher, the hud however is not made smaller and is therefor a little below the border of the screen. This could be fixed by:

Oh I see. I never use full screen hud so I haven't noticed. It should be fixed now.

Also, would it make sense to make spread(application switcher) fullscreen on smaller screens?

koraa commented 12 years ago

Yes, I would suggest making both fullscreen by default. (I think) the reason for them to not be full screen is, that you can leave them by clicking outside, but for xmonad Users it should be no problem to use 'ESC' ;) Also the UI of the hud and of spread are quite similar now. I think it would be cool to move them into a single widget [(Search) Desktops, Search All, Search Apps, Search Files] and by that enabling searching for windows.

That makes sense. I'll try to do it now.

This is a very cool idea. Making a window switching lens sounds doable.

Ok, now both places and spread should open in full screen mode. Don't forget to change the xmonad.hs file. (className =? "Unity-2d-spread" --> doFloat)
