Search All Notes should be visually distinct from other notes in task bar

[Scott Ritchie]

Binary package hint: tomboy

It's a bit hard to find the Search All Notes function when I have a lot of notes open by just clicking on the task bar. This is true both when the tomboy notes are grouped or separate in the taskbar.

As a simple solution I suggest making the icon for the main Search All notes window visually distinct somehow, such as a different color. Another option is to alter the text somehow, perhaps by indenting it or putting a special character at the front.

Would it be a viable fix to perhaps append a magnifying glass icon to the front of the label? I got the idea from the network manager indicator which uses the wireless antenna for an icon for wireless networks.

I don't understand the problem. The "Search button" is always on top of the list of task, independently of the number of notes present. In this way it is always easy to get. I misunderstood the problem?

Perhaps this report was from a version where there was no menu-separator between the notes items and the action items. As mentioned before, the position of the search item is static. I'd motion that this issue is no longer valid.
