On: Window indicators for Ubuntu ("windicators")

[bcl]

Ick! So they are taking the functionality of dock/bar icon apps and reproducing it in each window title bar? Seems needlessly complicated and cluttered to me. I prefer a simple, streamlined design myself.

Analogously:

Ick! So they are taking a chunk off the bottom of the window for a couple icons that could just as well have lived in the title bar? Seems needlessly complicated and cluttered; just put all the icons in one place.

I like that! Put more stuff in the title bar of the app.

Except, in Netbook Edition when you expand an application you no longer see its title bar.

The plan I believe for Netbook edition is to incorporate these icons into the global menu.

I don't understand your criticism. How is per application volume control in the title bar anything like "dock/bar icon apps"?
