Feisty - first impressions

April 22nd, 2007

Well…there’s not much to notice. Seriously. Some users might notice huge differences, but i don’t. At the desktop and application level, everything is mostly the same. Only small things here and there, like those bulleted lists on Tomboy. The only issue with that is the huge space between each list item (Come on ! This is a note taking application, not an office one). Oh, and is it just me, or Deskbar Applet seems a lot faster ?

Other users might notice bigger differences in laptop related issues, but although I’m using a laptop myself i won’t notice any of that due to the fact that my laptop sucks.

I’m still trying to understand why the hell they left the new control center out of the default options. I find it great. If you’d like to enable it, just right click the System menu button and click on Edit Menus. Then go to the Preferences section, activate Control Center and deactivate everything else.

I’m also gonna give another go at Beryl, but I’m not really in the mood right now to go through all those configuration menus.

Gimmie gimmie !

I really don’t know what to think of this. It somehow reminds me of OSX Dock, but in a much more usable way. For someone like me who doesn’t have much love for taskbars (multiple desktops prefered) , maybe this wouldn’t be a really bad idea.

Oh, and it comes from Alex Graveley, the same guy behind Tomboy, which i completely love.

I’m really gonna have to give it a try when i have the time. Right now, i have to study :(
