Snapshot slider

Some time ago I read a snapshot visualization slider was being made for Nautilus:

Enlace

I proposed to integrate it with the path bar, to save space and have a cleaner interface.

Some gnome-blog suggestions:

I recently sent some small suggestions for gnome-blog:

Improve the applet's general look:

-Adopt the Tango icon (http://tango.freedesktop.org/index.php?title=Tango_Fridays&redirect=no) and use it in the applet, to make it stand out.
-Center the text, since it is now placed too low and part of it appears hidden.
-Maybe remove the arrow? It does not seem to serve any purpose.
-Don't show the button frame until the cursor is hovered over the applet, just like the clock applet or the time-tracking applet do.
-Also, use the fade animation in Compiz as they do. Not the current one.

Support for more than one blog:

-Move the "blog name" field to the main interface. That way, publishing to a different blog would be just a click away.

Replicate pidgin's tipography and insert buttons:

-Replicating Pidgin's buttons would allow gnome-blog to add more functions while keeping its interface simpler than it is now.

The following mockup shows the proposed changes.


Integrate "extra buttons" in mouse properties

I proposed this some time ago.

I have just realised in Ubuntu Brainstorm (http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/120/) that a program called BTNX can help users who have a mouse with additional buttons get the most of their mice.

The interface to it, however, is quite complicated and not as simple as we would like for a Gnome app. It is quite undiscoverable, too, just because a user trying to configure their mouse is naturally going to look in system → preferences → mouse.

I think having a simplified frontend to BTNX in the mouse preferences menu would be the perfect solution. I have made a quick mockup:


As you can see, the interface is heavily influenced by the keyboard shortcut menu. The idea is, you hit "detect a button", then click the button you want to configure; then you can give it a name, an effect -key combination or command- specify the input for it.
