Playing with Big Board

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hi

I have been running Big Board ever since it was brought up on this list. Some questions and observations:

Is this meant to replace both the top and bottom GNOME panels? I don't see a equivalent of a task bar if it's meant to replace them both. Why hasn't the package been submitted for review? The color on the panel is a plain white and doesn't match the rest of GNOME system colors. I see no way to move the panel around either. I can understand the lack of a quit option if it is meant to replace the panel.

Is big board tied to mugshot? What if I don't have a mugshot account? Trying to change the pic shown on the identity, application descriptions, more button in calendar etc launches mugshot pages. The icons including facebook, flickr etc doesn't have any tooltips. The functionality of deskbar is not obvious.

The more link on applications launches a side panel. The descriptions near the search button sometimes overflows the boundary. Example: Epiphany. Installing a new application via the menu launches a command line yum command. Though it works this is crude. You should be using the Yum API and integrating with Pirut instead. Clicking on another area of the desktop doesn't close this menu or even move it away which is annoying.

There are three sections - applications, photos and calendar. If i don't intend to use any or all of these sections in the panel there is no way to remove them although clicking on it minimizing the section within the panel.
