Hey, In terms of the sound indicators id like if all the sound levels could be controlled from the main sound indicator rather than having 2 sound level controls. So when an application that uses sound starts playing, another sound level bar is added with a description above it. Just an idea but I think having 2 would look slightly bad IMO.
