The new ordering make sense. About the names:
- I've checked GNOME Tweaks now and they capitalize names, so I'll follow that (i. e. your second screenshot).
- Removing stuff like 'Enable' also seems good.
- Don't think
Window Padding
is the right choice. Gaps (so a setting likeTiled Window Gaps
) seems to be more common (see Pop Shell, ShellTile etc.). Googlingtiling window managers window gaps
vswindow paddings
also seem to yield slightly more accurate results. - How about
Inverse Top Screen Edge Action
since it is not just about maximizing and using screen edge might make it more obvious that it is about DNDing?
Btw I've actually changed the settings ui quite a bit in the rewrite. So I don't think it makes sense to still open a pr for the old settings with just visual changes. Feel free to take a look at the new settings and make suggestions against that. Here is a current screenshot:
Changes and the reasoning behind them:
- Rename Dash to Popup: I had 2 people say they wanted an option to disable the Dash... even though that setting already existed. Turned out they didn't know what I meant with Dash. Dash seems rather a uncommon. Even GNOME doesn't seem to use 'Dash' itself in a user-facing manner. But I couldn't come up with a better name so I decided to go with popup since that is what GNOME shell calls their altTab ("app switcher popup") and in my rewrite 95 % of the functionality of the Dash/Popup comes from altTab.js. As a result I removed the icon size and margin setting. Adding an optional icon size is trivial (and margins via css probably as well) but I don't know how many people actually change the default here... I am going for a "feel as native as possible" with my extension. So I am using whatever altTab uses.
- Remove tooltips / introduce a 'User Guide' tab: Almost all settings at this point might need tooltip, which is rather ugly. Tooltips can also only explain settings but not all features my extension offers (like holding
Ctrl
when DNDing a window). I tried to explain features in the README on github but apparently not a lot of people read it, so I thought about putting a README into the settings. This way people are very likely to see it. Not sure about the design yet, I am not happy with its current state... - 'Hidden setttings' page: This is just a tab without a name. I don't like adding a setting for every minor detail... So in there I plan to put settings which I don't expect the general user to ever touch (like animations) but which may still be worth being able to configure for select few.
Any thoughts?
[Edit]
Oh, I've also switched the tabs to the left for easier keyboard navigation. Currently a keyboard user needs to move all the way to the top, if they want to switch a tab. With the tabs on the left, just '1 left key' press is enough.

I agree with all of that. Even though there's also quarter tiling at the top, I think everyone will know what it means, so it's alright.
The pull request will be for more than just settings, it's a small stop gap measure until the recode is released.
