Bug Description

The Desktop Dash

Description:

If the screen resolution is under 1280px width AND under 1024px height the Dash should always be displayed as full screen. If the resolution is higher, the Desktop Dash should be invoked.

The Desktop Dash is a resizeable Dash area fixed to the top left of the screen. A resize handle is provided in the bottom right corner that when clicked switches the Dash to the full screen version (irrespective of the screen's current resolution). In a future 2nd phase of development it may also be possible to resize the Desktop Dash incrementally by dragging the corner.

The only other functionality that is unique to the Desktop Dash is the ability to drag files and folder out of the Dash File Lens. A user should be able to drag and drop a file or folder into a application or Nautilus window. Files or folders dropped on to a Nautilus window perform the copy action. Files or folders dropped on application window perform the equivalent function to if the drag and drop had originated from a Nautilus window.
