Dash - the cutoff of the search results at the top of the Dash is incorrect.

[John Lea]

The cutoff of the search results at the top of the Dash is incorrect.

Desired solution:

- At the top of the Dash beneath the search box, the search results can be cut off with a fade. The fade should begin at the location of the current hard cutoff, and be completely faded out by halfway from this point to the bottom of the search box

- during handover with John the measured value is 5px for fade-out mask

Such fade-out masks at the top/bottom are currently not possible/implemented in Nux. I have suggested such a feature in the past and also wondered why it's not part of the design-mockups. This is a O+1 feature, which should be added to the Nux 2.0 planning currently underway. I'm just doing that right now.

To get an idea of what John is talking about there, see these two screenshots of a test-program from Notify-OSD, where I use the same concept...

@macslow; Thanks for the screenshots, that is exactly the same concept ;-)

Due to the time that will take to get this done right, I'm pushing this behind other design and distro priority bugs.

We need some more input from John Lea as it is not clear to me or bregma what is really needed here in the Dash.

As part of the big bug clear up for 16.04 we have reviewed this bug and we will not be working on it in the near future. Sorry we can't offer you a fix. We will of course review patches if anyone submits them. Please stop by IRC to discuss this option.
