@ -86,3 +86,41 @@ activity icon to indicate that it is starting up. 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
<marcopg> eliason, when should the frame be automatically showed? when
starting the drag or when hitting the corner
<marcopg> eliason, (the first one would be tricky to implement)
<eliason> 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...
<marcopg> 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)
<eliason> 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.
<marcopg> ok
<marcopg> 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...)
<eliason> 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"
<marcopg> eliason, so [name of the object] + clipping?
<eliason> marcopg: If it is an activity object, it should be the name of the
object i.e. "Eben's Shark Drawing", etc.
<marcopg> oh ok
<eliason> It's only a clipping if it is part of another larger context.
<eliason> If the whole thing is an object itself, we use the object's name.
<marcopg> eliason, I see now
<marcopg> eliason, we want a preview of the objectm right? For text, should we
show part of the text in the rollover?
<eliason> marcopg: yeah, probably the first n characters of it, with an
ellipsis at the end.
<marcopg> eliason, on multiple lines I guess?
<marcopg> something like, 4 lines of text on a 2 grid cells large menu, and
ellipsize after that
<marcopg> (the exact numbers doesn't matter, just the logic
<eliason> marcopg: Right.
