A temporary page for User interface tests before I put it onto the playground.

My improvement for Gnome Interface is in direction of reduction of mouse path along the day.

I got myself using largelly the 'option' key on the keyboard. But it does not impaired me to track the mouse path until the icon on the left and the sound on the right and over the calendar and so on. I don't change the area frequently, but I also do and it is on the right. So I started to think if the Activities would be centralized with the calendar and the other icons of control. It would become like this:

activities_top_icons.jpg

Then, as one change impact in the positioning of the other elements, I would need to put the bar of icons below and centralized too. and then I perceived naturally more space on it:

activities_top_icons_free_space.jpg

I could have more programs or what I would suggest, the last files used. This is nice because at ends of sessions, updates or turn outs it would be not necessary to open everything again. It would be something like this:

activities_top_icons_last_opened.jpg

Finnaly, the sequence for search becomes more logic, because I then click on Activities and then search for the frequent programs. If I want to advance, I can click for all the programs or do a search below, everything in the same area:

center_controls_search.jpg

That's the end of my first contribution. Please, let me know what you think. Any feedback feeds back and improve my desire to contribute.

Cheers,

Claudio.
