Marco, could you use HSV for the icon color, and modulate the S(aturation) on a sin curve so the color pulses betwen, say, 0 and 192 until the activity starts, at which point it slides up to 255? + +Clipboard + + eliason, when should the frame be automatically showed? when +starting the drag or when hitting the corner + eliason, (the first one would be tricky to implement) + marcopg: Initially we wanted it to happen on drag, but after +thinking about this more, it's a bad idea, since it would hide the toolbars, +and some activities may have toolbars that support drag and drop also. As +such, we probably just keep the hot corners as is, and perhaps implement the +"warm edges" too, but only when dragging... + eliason, which reminds me... the plan is to completely drop edges at +this point? or at least give it a try? (for the not dragging case) + I still think it's worth trying, but I think the general consensus +was that we should drop it. That's also the easier option, so for now, I +guess it's fine. + ok + eliason, what should be the title of the clipboard rollover? (we are +trying to get text objects right for now, but if you have general ideas...) + marcopg: Well, it would depend on what is in the clipboard. For +instance, if I copy some text, it should say "text clipping", or if I copy an +image it should say "picture clipping" + eliason, so [name of the object] + clipping? + marcopg: If it is an activity object, it should be the name of the +object i.e. "Eben's Shark Drawing", etc. + oh ok + It's only a clipping if it is part of another larger context. + If the whole thing is an object itself, we use the object's name. + eliason, I see now + eliason, we want a preview of the objectm right? For text, should we +show part of the text in the rollover? + marcopg: yeah, probably the first n characters of it, with an +ellipsis at the end. + eliason, on multiple lines I guess? + something like, 4 lines of text on a 2 grid cells large menu, and +ellipsize after that + (the exact numbers doesn't matter, just the logic + marcopg: Right.
