For obvious reasons, I used ZETA for a long time and still does. Aesthetically-speaking, I think the window with the icon looks a lot better than the ones without. And even some applications for R5, like SoundPlay, implemented that for exactly the same reasons we are discussing here.

I actually changed the SoundPlay icon to look less annoying... :-)
Maybe it would look less bad if the icon would be smoothed and recoloured so that it better fits to the UI colors (like greying it out).

I am *PERFECTLY* fine with that. I am just a screen real-state freak. :)

Anyway, when we try to change our interface in a way like this, I would suggest to add a shared API for creating that menu so that one can easily try "Application" first, and be able to easily toggle between the two. But as I said, if you'll find the time to work on Haiku, there are more pressing issues. Just try and see :-)

I actually havea completelly useless change to commit. That probably shows you what I thinjk about all this. ;)

I agree that there are more important stuff to work on but, again, this is a volunteer-based project. If someone wants to go and make the change, it is up to this person how he/she uses their time.

Sure, but without any focus at all, we'll never get any release out of the door which won't help anyone.

So, how about calling a feature freeze and just mark a list of bugs/features that simply must be fixed/implemented for the alpha and just go with that?
