I really like all proposals, I hope they can implement. Especially notifications, it would be more intuitive than having them on time/calendar.
Holy sexy UIs. I wish they could implement them all and let the user chose. They look great!
There was something similar a few years ago from the KDE Breeze team, a designer published what he wished for Breeze and the internet split in two bands, those that liked cleaner less crowded UIs, and those that liked tighter information-dense interfaces. It was controversial because everyone thought that was an official direction for the project and it was immediately taken out of public view and I can’t find any screenshots from back then.
But I immediately fell in love with it and I wish I could get a copy and vibe code it for my personal use.
Mosaic tiling looks cool but doesn’t look like it uses window space efficiently.
Since there can be so many different forms of tiling, shouldn’t that be an extension? E.g. I wouldn’t want to miss paperwm. It should just be more accessible and easier to use for more people, and not a hidden gem in the void.
Are they going to release a theming API like they promised?
What are you dreaming about for the GNOME Shell and hope to see in a future release?
Nothing because the GNOME devs don’t listen to the user base. it’s more like what THEY dream of and will then say “these are your dreams too”.
If you like GNOME then power to you, but I avoid that thing like the plague.
GNOME is not for everyone, but I don’t fault them for having a vision and sticking to it. Imho it’s all the distros choosing GNOME as their default desktop that collectively have made it seem like GNOME has a special place. But GNOME itself has no responsibility to add things based on user opinions.
