A labour of Love – all is not forgotten
Hay A a short but sweet update just to show you things aren’t back at the beginning 
You may remember a blog post afew months back showing you the current working desktop model we have for Aurora – we have been working on perfecting this even further and getting a UI that really does get out of the way
The challenge with Gnome shell is its default setup – so we have made some fundemental changes to this
Windows lists are a default behaviour so you can see and manage multiple windows from the taskbar ( otherwise its not much of a taskbar)
The messaging tray is gone in favour of notification icons in top corner ( not final solution as we are looking to a single icon option )
glass dock – this is a skinned dock at present but the aim is to develop this into the “drawer” where you can drop any website, application or document you like.
Finally – the wallpaper in this picture is NOT the default – we are testing with a range of wallpapers to ensure the glass works well with all default wallpapers and does not remove focus from the elements.
So I hope this wets your appetite 
PS – As I tweeted the other day we’ve managed to get 6-15 second boots now in a VM for the latest systemd builds so close to our 12 second aim
