Comment 18 for bug 825146

I fully agree with comment #17 (pelle.k). It must be added that breaking your own design-principle - the reason to move menus to the panel - is terribly (!) inconsistent.

If you put as much design-effort into the BFB as you are putting into the new launcher-icon, it would be no problem for new users. Make it red! Or blue or give it some other distinctive design!

I made my own user-test this afternoon with the daily build and the new Dash-icon icon in the launcher, trying to do some serious work. It is really difficult to concentrate on your task, if you permanently have to search for the dash-icon with your mouse pointer. I ended up summoning the Dash with the keyboard only..

At least a hot corner to open the launcher would be required.
