Oops, I have to correct myself with the last part there: PS: Note that it seems like the mockup for "autohide Launcher and un-maximized window" seems to be missing but the proposed behavior is exactly like the proposed behavior here: http://i54.tinypic.com/qzm2l0.png So, essentially, the application title is pushed to the right when the Launcher is revealed.
