[Dash] pagination graphic should remain static when swiping between favourites.

[James Mulholland]

Pagination graphic should remain fixed in place when swiping between favourites contained within the dash.
'Dot' used to communicate which favourite is currently being viewed should be more visible (switch colour from Dark Grey to Orange colour used for highlights, etc):

UX Testing Report finding & recommendation:

"No incentive to discover scopes beyond the apps scope. Lack of strong visual cues to hint swiping from the apps scope to discover more scopes on the right."

"In the SURU divider pagination pattern (as currently used by the Dash), change the selected colour from orange to white."

"When the Scopes slide, the SURU divider portion of the screen should not slide (it should remain static). The state of the 'dot' pagination pattern should of course change. Keeping the SURU divider static should make the change to the pagination pattern more noticeable."

Work on 'manage dash' has been deprioritised and may cease entirely.

The problem with this is that is that when you start swiping to the sides, the divider line doesn't necessarily have to be aligned with that of the other scope, it only comes into view a moment after you started swiping, which might mean the pagination could overflow onto the other scope's header. On top of that the dividers can have wildly different colours, we'd need assets that are certain to work well on all kinds of backgrounds.

Can we please have some visual/motion exploration for this? There currently isn't a static place anywhere in the dash right now.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

@saviq - just so it doesn't get lost

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Kevin, why Fix Committed for ubuntu-ux? It's still not clear how to solve the issue from my comment #1.

[John Lea (johnlea)]

@saviq; reverting to triaged so that this get picked up be design again so someone can respond to your comment

[James Mulholland (jamesmulholland)]

@Sasviq : Added design guidance in September for the issue you described on 2014-09-12.

The proposed solution is very naïve and short-sighted I'm afraid, added a comment in the document.

[Michał Sawicz (saviq)]

Can't see this happening by r1 unless we get a better design solution for this.

Setting as won't fix in unity8 following design's decision
