Description Allan Day 2014-09-19 12:49:51 UTC 
The header bar is rather blank when the content grid is shown. This leaves the window feeling a bit ambiguous - the whole point of having a header bar is to give the window a heading.

The heading could be a string - "All Boxes" - or a view switcher.

A view switcher would be nice to sort VMs differently or so. IIRC we made plans in that direction on GUADEC too.

Yeah, from the bug I just marked as duplicate of this:

"From GUADEC 2014:
We want a toggle for
- All VMs
- Favorites
- maybe something else?"

Well this bug itself is kinda fixed with this commit to master but as said in previous comment, we want to provide a menu instead.

commit: 8cea71ee7fd1cf8444542894876c6cd06cd26730

    topbar: Ensure 'status' property is always set
    
    We were not initializing the 'status' property and resetting it
    to null in collection view. This meant an empty titlebar in collection
    view. Apart from this not being a good thing (see bug below), later we'll
    connect this property to the a11y-name of the containing window and that
    property is not nullable.
Comment 5 Zeeshan Ali 2015-02-02 13:43:51 UTC 
Actually looking at documents, the toggles i mentioned in comment#3 would likely be better in search mode and selection mode only. We already have a menu in selection mode actually.
Comment 6 Zeeshan Ali 2015-02-02 13:47:08 UTC 
I'm closing this one as its really fixed. Created another one as per last comment: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743854
