Solution #1: Large is better for touchscreen
Written by hitham the 15 Feb 10 at 21:42.
I suggest to make the main panel a little bit larger to make Ubuntu easy to use with people who are using devices with touchscreen feature , I think size 30 pixel Is good . Thank you all

Solution #2: NBR for Touchscreens
Written by pererik87 the 17 Feb 10 at 14:23.
Create a similar project as NBR but optimised for Touch screens. Flipping pages functions, click and drag functions.
Perfect for Adams notion ink. Android has no repository yet, and if Ubuntu makes a move it will own the market, with its giant repository.

Solution #3: Scaling ability for main panels
Written by C.H.E.W.S. the 28 Feb 10 at 00:18.
This not to get rid of NRB for touchscreens idea but to complement it. See the screen magnifier does not always work for me so I have to lower the resolution for my Grandma witch blurs the panels. Making the panels and every thing else easily scale able it would make it more useful on a touch screen but also more customizable for special needs. Plus some may prefer the default interface and in linux we are all about choice!

You can adjust the panel size, and the majority of Ubuntu installs are not on computers with touchscreens (yet).

I suggest making the scaling easer by adding a corner you can grab to make it bigger and right click lock size so it is not accidentally changed. Also allow multi touch scaling!
