Designed by MarkShuttleworth, specified by MatthewPaulThomas

Windicators extend the idea of application indicators to individual windows. They are mini menus that sit at the trailine end of a window’s title bar.

Mark’s post: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/333

This spec needs to:

  • - show 5 application windows, using windicators

    • - evolution (& thunderbird for bonus points) - firefox (&chromium for bonus points) - gimp - f-spot - mumble - others?

    - define the kinds of indicator menu titles
    • - icons - numbers+icons? (900 mails) - letters (keyboard style?)
    - define windicator ordering
    • - apps can add, update, remove windicators - apps specify order explicitly (not just order added) - mapping into panel when maximised
    - scope and define APIs - define visuals
    • - theme names? - symbolic icons?
