Trying out the Notifications plug (and thus Switchboard) with a more compact toolbar/titlebar

I really like this mockup, especially the button 'setting' and the toolbar/titlebar. I hope that Luna look like this!!!

elementary OS Luna is easily going to be the best looking Linux disto available. I'm really looking forward to the launch.

It's even possible without hacking gnome??

Would be nice to have 2 options compact and normal, compact for lower resolutions.

I feel like I should preface my comment with the knowledge that I love all your stuff but don't comment enough for fear of being lost in the wealth of them you already have :/
So as with most your mockups/design, i really like the level of quality and how thought out everything is on this piece.

I like that from the mockup I can assume that it's possible to turn on all three at once which is most likely what I'd like, depending on the notification sound. Speaking of which, any ideas for the sound theme yet? It should obviously be a custom one.

One thing I disagree with only very slightly is the window controls, I wrote an explanation here but deleted it because is doesn't make a whole lot of sense XD, instead I'll be mocking it up soon and you can see my opinion that way.

I do try really hard to respond to comments and mail and the like. I think it's important to maintain a direct connection with the people who use/enjoy/hate/etc my work :)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it. We haven't started anything with a sound theme yet. Still waiting for someone awesome to come along and come up with one for us ;)

Okay, can't wait to see it! I'm really interested in experimenting with a more compact toolbar/titlebar like in this mockup, but I don't know if it will really become something true or not. Only time will tell if it's actually a good idea ha.

I've noticed and I really appreciate that as will the other commenters. So thanks again for responding. Trawling DA you see some people whose work has some serious page stats and literally hundreds of comments, but scroll down and you won't once see their avatar. It makes me angry, I'd love such feedback.

Well maybe these comments will spark someones interest in making a sound theme ;)

I definitely think a merged titlebar and toolbar is the (future?) way to go. But I have some tweaks in mind, obviously it'll still be mainly to my taste but it might help brainstorming them anyway.
I'm going to start trying tonight but I still can't manage to create shapes or icons that don't pixelate or degrade beyond recognition when they're altered to their actual minuscule size :/ I do use Photoshop, but any tips at all? :)

Am curious as to the rational of having the close and expand buttons on either side as oppose to the same side for both?
