Right now, my top panel is very empty. There's a lot of screen real estate that remains unused. And you know what I'd expect there?
A bar.
Something to type in.
And we already have that: the deskbar applet. However, the actual bar only pops up after clicking it.
That's of course ok if you want to save space, but there definitely should be an option to integrate the whole thing in the taskbar like the "dictionary" and "address" applets do.
Put a system of widgets like the gadgets of Windows Vista or Mac OS X widgets, installed as standard on the operating system ready for use when the installation finishes.
The program could be based on the source of gdesklets.
If implemented the idea would be good to be compatible with the widgets of google and gdesklets; and also would have their own native widgets for the program.
gDesklets (and other widgets) provide a nice look and feel, but when you work with a fullscreened window, the widgets are hidden by that window, or the widgets are on top covering the window so you can't use certain buttons on it.
