But the proposed animation would work better for minimizing, since you dont start stuff "to go into the taskbar", but rather it will open up a window to the desktop. The idea is good, the effect is not ideal for the purpose. Metacity does the minimize effect nicely already, yeah. Yeah, my real point was: startup notification is important.

Do we really need all this memory-hogging eye-candy? While it looks good, and is definitely more suited to minimization than to app startup, I don't know that it's necessary right now. A higher priority should be to just get startup notification working with Nautilus's Launchers as well as the rest of GNOME's. I find that Metacity’s minimization effect is more than enough.

But that described "jump to taskbar" should be done for minimizing. Of course proper feedback is important, but it should also be thought out to make the correct impression to the user. Jordan: :-) Yeah, of course startup notifications need to work. But that described “jump to taskbar” should be done for minimizing.

Cox Tue, 14 Dec 2004 20:22:07 +0000 http://www.tigert.com/archives/2004/12/07/gnome-startup-notifications/#comment-226 I agree. I usually keep a cpu monitor around, just so that I can know when applications are starting up or not. Sad, but that is the most accurate way to do it. Tigert, bravo on updating. I remember when your laptop-candy box was around for some very large values greater than Christmas, awhile back. ;p I agree.

But how about we get consistent startup notification throughout the GNOME desktop first, and then make it look nice later? Only about half the launchers that I create actually do proper launch feedback -- most of the time the user is simply kept guessing as to whether or not the program has been started up.
