Medium-term wishlist

Tracking issue for medium to large issues/initiatives:

Mostly self-contained new features:

  • Notification redesign
  • Quick Settings

High visibility:

Behavior changes:

  • Two-dimensional gestures #3615
  • New window thumbnail layout algorithm !1607
  • Make dash DnD behavior consistent with the app grid (e.g. dragging an icon moves it, rather than duplicating) #6081
  • App grid DnD/hover hints live on the same layer and are clipped the same as the actual grid pages !1630 (comment 1043153)
  • "Real" pages (with empty slots etc.) inside app folders
  • Allow creating new workspaces at the beginning and end of the workspace row, and between existing workspaces via DnD (both window picker and app grid thumbnails)
  • Better app grid/dash icon scaling at smaller resolutions (i.e. ensure app icons are never <64px on common resolutions) #3992 (closed) #6088 (closed)

Smaller tweaks and bug fixes:

  • More visible active workspace styling in the app grid (blue border rather than scale) #3777
  • Fix workspace thumbnail spacing in the app grid state #5986
  • Rounded workspaces (including fullscreen windows, with clipping) in the app grid
  • Better interaction between panel and fullscreen apps (e.g. avoid disappearing panel when swiping from/to fullscreen workspaces)
  • Workspace OSD indicator in the session seems giant (maybe remove it?) !2127 (merged)
  • Allow quickly moving between app grid pages with a pointer (broken since 43) #5738
  • Update default avatars to AdwAvatar styling #4971

Nice to have:

  • Swiping multiple workspaces with one very fast gesture
  • Centered label in the search entry #2619
