Sounds good :)

Moving on to the user menu, Online Accounts is not a very useful menu

For me the UserMenu seems to be the new MeMenu → most people won't use it
because it contains none useful items for them but takes "a lot of screen
space". I would prefer an 'Accounts' entry in the SystemMenu to switch to
other accounts and in the system settings an entry 'Online Accounts' (since
I have to configure it only once - there is no need to access it often).

For the device section of the SystemMenu I suggest to use icons and put them
in a row (saves space - same functionality). Most times you know the devices
plugged into your computer so an icon will indicate it sufficiently without
cluttering the menu to much.

Kind Regards
Thibaut
