Do you have a suggestion for what this icon should be? We used our best idea, so if you don't have better ones, not much we can do. I would add a bit more space between the redhat icon and the mozilla+openoffice icons on the toolbar. That should add a bit more distinction between the program menu icon, and the applications icons. The little white triangle could be changed to the same triangle the default theme uses in the scrollbars. (a fat >) I wouldn't add a "Red Hat Menu" bar on the left of the menu, that's waaaay too annoying IMO :-) A little bit more space between the menu icon and the menu text (in the redhat menu) would be nice too. Instead of "(moon)Log out" "(moon) Log out". I would do the same on the desktop. The Home icon is somewhat more important than the Start Here and the Trash. I would add a little bit of space between the Home and Start Here icons, but keep the same space between Start Here and Trash. I like the idea of adding a bit more space between the start here icon. Maybe in addition you could shrink the existing RedHatICON place the word "Start" to the right of it then encolse them in a box. Windows XP does something similar. Hmm, I don't really like texts in buttons on the panel. I think that with the added spacing, the utterst left position on the panel, the little upper arrow, the company logo, it should be pretty clear to anyone that that button has a special meaning. When we look at apple users, we see that only having the company logo and the left position is enough to make clear that there's a menu there with applications. I filed http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103342 The rest of this bug is kind of grab-bag, so I'm not sure what to file on gnome.org. If you want to file anything, be sure to do a single suggestion per report. |
