Menus & Options Layout (draft)

Notes

• Checkboxes are checkbox options.

Right click on desktop (in the future)

• New >
  • Panel
  • Note
  • Photo
• Align >
  • To Grid (global)
• Preferences (would open preferences dialog for app)

Panel header (when panel or panel header is hovered over)

• Trash icon on the left (move panel to trash)
  • If it's a link, maybe we should use an close icon and call it "Remove" to reduce the possibility of someone thinking it will delete the folder?
• Gear icon on the right (panel properties/settings)

SPHERAS-> love this, the only is that I'm not sure if we should only show those icons over the header, or just over the panel in general (I'm afraid the user need to discover that only over the header appears those icons)

Right click on a panel

• New >
  • Folder
  • Empty File
  • Link (maybe?)
• Align >
  • To Grid (global)
• Move to Trash ("Remove" for links?)
• Panel color picker section (as it currently is)

SPHERAS -> regarding New-> Link, the problem is that I've not found a way to select a folder or file with the same gtk selector.. you must before open the gtk selector decide what you want to select (file | folder), so you need two options :(

SPHERAS -> Question: Why Align to grid is a submenu? for me it seems just an option like now (align to grid).

SPHERAS -> In fact, everything is moved to trash, the link in case it is a link (and you know it is a link because of the link icon). For me Move to Trash is better, I feel more secure. When I see Remove.. I feel like I can lose it.

SPHERAS -> I agree with the idea to move new Panel|Photo|Note to the future desktop option... but meanwhile we must put it in each widget.. or create a wingpanel status icon.

SPHERAS -> I would add to the color picker section a last box (multicolor or with an interrogation ? ) to open a gtk window rgba color selector. Gtk.ColorChooserDialog

Unsure about

• Properties (simply because the gear icon could make it redundant in the context menu)
• Open in Files/Show in Files (put in panel properties instead?)

SPHERAS -> I think aren't necessary.

Panel properties

Appearance

• Panel color (with full color picker for custom colors)
• Adjust the panel color based on the background (switch).
  • (If the switch above is on, this is dimmed) Label color

SPHERAS -> please!please! the bold option at least (and shadow if possible)

SPHERAS -> we could open the ColorChooserDialog, instead to put there the selection.

SPHERAS -> regarding automatic panel color, we first should check the technical possibility (I've seen in Android something like this, but I don't know how to do it with vala/lib linux env)

Preferences (global)

(nothing yet)

SPHERAS -> you wrote days ago about the hidden files. This could be a global preference.

SPHERAS -> Run on startup could be another one?

Options that I'm not sure whether to be global or not

• Align >
  • Automatically (not sure if this should be global)
• Lock (this would lock the position and size of things to prevent accidental movement)

SPHERAS -> I think this is a panel configuration. Lock is interesting, yes, but it could be interesting too for the panel itself (movement and resizing).
