OneFinger - screenshots

OneFinger in MIME mode

Here is how OneFinger's "main window" looks like (Nuvola icons, Plastik style):

The main window looks very different from traditional apps: it has a toolbar above, and below it are three "panels":

The window list

In the following screenshot you can see a new component: the "OneFinger window-list". This appears when you execute the action "Drag to other window". As described in the home page, this window makes it easy to drag to a window you do not currently see.

Note for KDE users

In addition to dragging, you can also use the window-list to switch between windows, in place of the taskbar, but:

After you installed the kicker applet and removed the KDE taskbar, your desktop will look like this (notice the kicker applet on top of the screen):

Now, the window-list will appear when you click (or drag to) the kicker applet, thus making the taskbar useless (in the picture, I left the taskbar active, to the bottom of the screen).

If you decide to use the OneFinger window-list in place of the KDE taskbar, you get some advantages:

You could also use the kicker applet in addition to the KDE taskbar, like in the picture. This would provide a way to activate the OneFinger main-window more easily: right-clicking the kicker applet activates the main window.

(Here ends the note for KDE users.)

OneFinger in shell mode

As described in the home page, OneFinger provides a shell mode that is more expressive than the normal mode. You activate the shell mode via a toolbar button.

Here is how KDE looks when OneFinger is in shell mode:

Notice the addition of a "command area", below the toolbar, which will contain the shell command you need to compose. Also, many new buttons have appeared.

The behavior of the three panels changes slightly in shell mode:

You have to press the "execute" button when you have finished composing the command. You can choose to execute in a terminal if you want.
