Okay so was messing about on the web yesterday and found out that Firefox's

A bit late, but I would like to add my own thoughts to this: I absolutely
agree with Mr. Bicha about web-apps in 12.10 (having finally downloaded it
to test the new toolkit). They are a bit of a mess. And I, as a seasoned
user, find their launcher behavior almost indecipherable given the context.

If we were to do this, the title would need be moved over so the menu
doesn't overlap the launcher. Then something needs to go into that corner.
Window controls would be a bit confusing when not connected to any specific
application visually. Moving the menu into the app is a no go because HUD

Don't forget: another reason for not pushing transparency in addition to
yours is text. There is a lot of text in the menu bar and that text doesn't
play nice with cameleonic/transparent backgrounds. Hence why the indicators
should/do have a solid background as well.

Good as a mock up, bad in practice. Coloring creates contrast issues. Not
having the "shields" may leave an app disconnected from a badge if it's not
square. The squared dots are inconsistent with indicator "now running"

In other words why aren't indicators indicating?

Have you clicked this item? For me it launches a separate application

itself (yet).

"Displays" is a shortcut to a panel in the system settings while "Printers"
