Docky Design Feedback Wanted

By , Published December 6, 2009

Docky developer DBO post a thread on the Ubuntu Forums asking for some feedback on a UI issue. Knowing so many this blogs readers to be devout Docky enthusiasts i though I’d highlight the question here so that many of your can also add your votes.

DBO asks: -

I am looking for some feedback on a new way of titling menus in docky. I am not sure if its worth keeping or not, or if anyone has an ideas for improvement. Let me know what you think (screenshots attached).

Head on over to the thread page @ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1347311 where you'll find the poll to vote in.

I personally think that the €œtitles€ are logical and beneficial to users by helping to better separate the two sections as letting newer users know instantly 'what is where'.

    I heard a lot of good things of it, recently…

      Docky isn’t part of GNOME, it’s just a dock application. Like AWN. Like Cairo Dock, etc. You don’t have to install it if you don’t want to…
