I think the line to show the focused application is a valid idea. Beside
that it looks good (despite the mockup doesn't really represent the Unity
style), it is a pretty common pattern (e.g.: Android tabs).
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Britt, could you please clarify what is awesome in this mockup that
Ubuntu would NEED? Posting mockups without the opportunity to deep dive
into issues and solution, can be not particularly productive.
By the way, watching the mockup... besides the not matching Unity style,
there are some issue

The unity panel has several issues that have been existing since 11.04:

I'd much rather have consistent looking menus than an always transparent
panel. The menus looking totally different than the panel would *really* bother
me.

The thing Brandon is - how much time do you browse through indicator/menus?
If you are browsing over a 50% through them whilst you are on your
PC/laptop/netbook than having a full opaque panel would make sense. However
I find it hard to believe someone browses THAT much time through them :) If
you
I think the panel needs to more in sync with the title bar than the
launcher/dash. I think it's good as it is right now i.e, blends with
the title bar when needed and also blends in with dash/launcher when
needed.
Also, the indicator menus need to be transparent too (look like HUD)
if this is cons
It does blend with the titlebar and the dash when needed, however it
doesn't blend at all with the launcher, which really bugs me :)
P.S. Transparent panel + panel opacity toggles also blends with the
titlebar :P

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.

Are you trolling?
The "Unix heritage" is by no means so clear. I remember at least 4
different kinds of scroll bars offhand. Some of them quite

A matching panel could look good (even if the menus stay opaque), like this:

Jonathan, I find it hard to believe that the not-readable text is a reason
for the panel to be opaque and not transparent and chameleonic - the
launcher itself is transparent and chameleonic and it has those tiny
arrows, yet they are still visible, not to mention that the Dash itself is
