incorperate advanced desktop effects with apperance, and custom themes.   forum
Written by barbedsaber the 9 Apr 08 at 11:24. Category: Look and Feel. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
I have about 5 themes that I swap between every day or 2.
I have skydomes that go with these themes.
I can set a desktop to go with my theme, but I can't set a skydome that will automatically turn on when I select it. I'm sure other people have other compiz things the want to assign to certain themes.
My proposal is that we have a button to take a snapshot of the current compiz settings, and when a theme is selected, it says that a compiz something is suggested by this theme.
this is what it does with desktop backgrounds.

(I know the ubuntu forum link suggests sabayon, but cmon guys, I would think this is something that should work out of the box!
what do you think?

move the trash icon away from the edge of the screen by default  
Written by barbedsaber the 18 Apr 08 at 06:55. Category: Accessibility. Related to: Nothing/Others. New
every time I used to try and drag something to the trash, I would accidentally drag it to another workspace. It was driving me insane. I eventually decided to move my trash icon away from the right of the screen, so now it is on the other side of my workspace switcher. If a new user is skeptical, it might take one annoying thing to close their mind to change, so I propose we have what I did (which only took a few seconds) as the default setup.

what do YOU think?
