[SOLVED] We need some help naming an applet...

[isaacj87]

Hello fellow Ubuntians,

For those who use Avant-Window-Navigator (AWN), some of you may remember an applet that allowed users to quickly and easily switch workspaces. It was called BlingSwitcher. I liked this applet because it was cool eye-candy and functional. Unfortunately, it was removed from Awn-Extras due to copyright/license issues and more importantly, it seems the original author has abandoned the applet. :(

Luckily, a kind user, sharkbait, has done a complete re-write of the applet and has fixed a lot of the problems that plagued the original. Plus, added some cool new features!

Only one problem, we can't seem to come up with a cool name for the applet! For now, it is only known as Sin-nombre (or "No Name"). I was hoping that you guys could help us out. The best I've got so far is Slickswitch(er). Yeah, I know...

So throw out some names! I know you guys can come up with some good ones.

Some features of the applet (to help get a better understanding):

-Quick switching with mouse scroll wheel
-It can detach and be placed anywhere on the desktop
-You can middle-click to show the desktop
-It will show you what windows are opened on any workspace

Below are some screenies of the applet to help (I chose a background so that people could see it better).

I started thinking of the compound eyes on insects. So I throw "CompoundEye" into the ring.

Whatever you decide to name it I would suggest that you keep it close to what it does. Or add an i in front of it. Like iCompoundEye. Recent trends have shown that adding a lower case "i" in front of a product almost surely guarantees sucess.

Seriously, though? Keep it simple and directed towards what the app actually does. :)

I'm using the Apotheosis theme. :)

More than likely it's going to be slickswitch(er).

[Samhain13]

Another +1 for slickswitcher. Nothing wrong with it. :D

[Yuki_Nagato]

SlickSwitch(er) flows phonetically much smoother. I stand behind it.

CompEye!

[Erdaron]

How about "Switchatron!"?

[DeadSuperHero]

Polaroid Switch.

[dizee]

I like screenie :)

slickswitcher doesn't roll off the tongue so smoothly. the ckswi sound makes it a little awkward

screenie is cute, simple, and makes sense. Fun to say, too.

As I was viewing your screenshots, David Bowie came on the radio and I immediately thought "ScreenGenie"

I really like your wallpaper btw.
