Description Mathieu Jobin 2006-05-04 19:05:41 UTC
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.5.2, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.6 (Gentoo 3.3.6, ssp-3.3.6-1.0, pie-8.7.8)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.16-suspend2-r1-justbudget

I am a keyboard user. I don't like the mouse and I'm not very good or quick at aiming at objects. specially a small button in a corner of a window.

I would like to replace those buttons entirely. (among other things)

ultimately I think I would remove the title bar.
the title could be displayed right to the menu bar. or somewhere like that. the color of the title bar thats gives the focus/unfocused info would be on the menu/toolbar widget background.

and the buttons. I would like them BIG. VERY BIG. and to appear on a shortcut key, or a hot corner, or something like that.

its just an idea very open to discussion. but I think that could be very interesting.

the usability team and the accessibility team could be interrested I think.

thanks
