Jolicloud new desktop mode

March 26th, 2010 at 3:51 pm, by Jolicloud Team

As announced previously, we are now rolling out a desktop mode switcher, which allows you to switch between the netbook mode and the new desktop mode.

You can now organize all your web and native apps the way you like on your screen using the Jolicloud desktop switcher. If your screen is bigger than 11 inch, this is the mode that will be provided by default.

As with all new features, all you need to do to benefit from it is to click on “Update All” and switch modes from the Preferences menu.

J’espère que Jolicloud va rester aussi rapide que suite à la dernière mise à jour qui a vraiment marqué un pas important dans ce sens.
Keep up the good work!

This is great. I wasn’t a big fan of the previous layout, but this might clinch the change for me.

Sweet. I have a classic laptop with a 15-inch screen. I’ve installed Jolicloud before, but it was very slow and didn’t fit my screen. This will most likely fix the screen issue, but we’ll see about the slowness. I guess it is/was because the hardware isn’t officially supported, but that might have changed now. We’ll see.

Very nice,well done…!!!

I love Jolicloud, but the tiny top icon bar is what keeps me from making this my main laptop OS. Even in the pic you posted above, look how tiny that black bar is. Other than that, I adore Jolicloud.

I love the current theme, is one of the things that I like the most from Jolicloud. So if my netbook is only 10″, that means that I’ll continue having the same theme, right?

This is why I like Jolicloud, you keep on updating. I hope when the final release goes out the upgrade would not be time consuming. Kudos! Now I can use wall papers

@Rob

I’ve brought this up with the devs. Would you say that the Windows 7 taskbar (40px) would be a reasonable size?

    Rob | May 19, 2010 at 7:10 am

    I don’t know. I don’t use Windows. That’s why I use Jolicloud :)

Hi.
Sine I downloaded this update, I can’t use my webcam anymore ! Indeed, when I want to use Cheese, the program just open up and close directly, or when I want to use my webcam via Flash (like on chatroulette, etc), I can’t get to allow flash using it.

I have an eeePC 1000HE.

Can you help me, please ?
Thanks !

Ref. the vertical height of the top bar, I don’t think you need to increase it more than a touch if at all. Here is a screenshot of my remote controlled 19″ desktop, shown on a 21.5″ iMac - http://www.evernote.com/pub/gfraser/jolicloud

Having the same issue with the pre-final build. Cheese will open and then quickly close down. MSI Wind U100. Previously worked fine.

@ Matthieu and pbr

This is a known issue with webcams and will be worked on.

Thanks Zak

Since I changed to the desktop mode, all the little blue house buttom (I guess its the home icon) in the top left corner does is hiding all windows and shows the home screen - however that makes it impossible for me to find the apps that i have added if they are not on my desktop. When I first changed, it worked perfectly and I would get the same menu as the screenshot shows, but now it just minimizes everything - this is a huge pain in the …! Can somebody please help me, cause I really like Jolicloud but can only asses like half of my apps!
cheers

    Cedric | April 22, 2010 at 11:05 am

    No worries.
    Press the Super/’Windows’ key: it calls the main menu.
    Switch to netbook mode and switch again to desktop mode.
    It should be fine now!

      George | July 22, 2010 at 2:07 am

      I have the same problem. I tried what you said, but it still doesn’t work. That blue cloud stays there all the time and hides the “house” button (the menu). Can I have the native menu back there?

gaston | April 9, 2010 at 2:04 pm

I just installed Jolicloud on my msi wind u100+ and I lost my webcam function. help and thanks

    Cedric | April 22, 2010 at 11:06 am

    Which application did you try?
    Maybe Cheese? If yes, we pushed some days ago an update.
    Go to My Jolicloud and Update All.

This is the is a great addiion to Jolicloud! I wasn’t fond of the original netbook mode. Liking Jolicloud very much!

Tyrus | April 28, 2010 at 5:24 am
