Hi.

Has anyone ever used Unity or Gnome3?

I didn't but I've read some about them.

As far as I've read they are using something like a Application-Chooser (-Selector) instead of the usual menu and task bar. In some German Computer-Magazines they did call the Application-Chooser as dash or dashboard - which I don't know.

However, I did made some testings to create a similar application, which is based on iconfinder (by SFR) and my RoxApp Builder.

It offers all installed applications (by analyzing the .desktop files) in alphabetical order, collected in a single GUI interface.

It was just a first step test, I don't really need it and I don't want to develop this for the community, but I would like to give it to someone, who wants to develop this one for the community.

So, if anyone wants to develop this, post here and I will send you the Scripts.

I think the dashboard is different from that -a search facility with 'predictive' typing. Maybe nice for anyone who knows nothing about computers, but probably maddening for anyone who does.
