According to the screenshots, the spotlight icon is no longer on the top right, getting shuffled over to the left by presumably a new icon to invoke notification center.
That's a really bad choice. The corners are the click targets fastest to reach (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fittss_law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fittss_law ), and demoting searching in favor of 'reading messages that have popped up before' doesn't strike me as quite well-balanced.
- ConstantineXVI 15y agoIt gets worse; can also call it up with a two-finger swipe to the left. Not sure why they're so intent on overloading that gesture. Two fingers in SL: * Scroll. Two fingers in ML: * Scroll * or back/forward * or Notification Center
- cpr 15y agoIt looks like the two fingers have to come in from the right side of the scroll area (like pulling down on the top of the screen--the right side in this case), so it's distinct from the other meanings.
- jedberg 15y agoCommand-Space opens spotlight, and if you're gonna search, you might as well already have your hand on they keyboard. I actually like it better -- I'm much more likely to activate notifications with a mouse, so I'd much rather have that be the "bigger" target.
