in unity there is no way to add a workspace but unity supports more than 4 workspaces and they can be added using cario dock but unity does not provides an option
Solution #2:

Add a new workspace atomatically when are screens in all existing one, and remove a desktop if there is not windows

Solution #3:
Add Plus/Minus Sign to Workspace Switcher
When the Workspace Switcher is open, there would be plus/minus signs below and to the right of the current workspaces, which add/remove rows and columns of workspaces when clicked. The tooltips would also be like "Add Row" or "Remove Column".

Solution #5:
Standard should be the Gnome3 way.

Make the standard desktop management as easy and comfortable as in gnome3 (#2 I think?), because this is easy to use and fits to most users. Because everything you need is one free desktop at a time, and the ones who exist. I can't see a reason to add 5 empty screens. But I see reasons to always have the same (static) number of desktops available. So both things should be optional.
To people who think that #4 is better and/or #2 is bad:
Please remember that standard settings should always be optimized for people who are often called the "casuals". You know, people who just want to use it and do not think big about management of things like this. For these people, the computer should care about them and they should not always think about the computer, but about the things they are doing. So this is why this solution is the same (I think?) as #4, but with inverted standard settings.
EDIT #4 just got deleted. It was about making #1 and #3 standard and #2 optional.

SMS passthrough for Android Phones

I am always working on my computer and miss SMS, I have my phone on my desk by my attention is on my computer. I would love to have an app with message menu integration that when I plug my phone in my computer presents notification and alows me to receive and respond to the text messages
The idea came from watching the ubuntu for android promos, there is a big difference though, we need to have some way to pass the info from the phone to the pc. either bluetooth, or usb.
Solution #1:
Message menu integration and app

I think it would be a great idea if we had some sort of solution integrated into the messaging menu and notifications for SMS. As well as send and receive SMS, maybe in empathy or a separate client.
The ground work is around, an app called DesktopSMS works, but does not have any integration, nor does it look nice or feel good to use. This package uses ADB to communicate with the phone, and then an app on the phone supply the comparabilities needed.
