Great job, but I would like to inspire a thought: Maybe combining the symbols for volume and microphone on the left with the switches on the right? I mean, using the symbols as the switches themselves. Would be even more minimal.

good idea, i like your suggestion
another possibility is to use the whole bar as the on off button. you could easily get an overview what is active at the moment.
to make visible what i mean: [link]

i am fairly new to this, can some explain, how i would make my mac look like this? can you? and what is luna?

it's very clean and easy to understand. Keep up the good work!
Right now i have 2 music players on my desktop, Noise and Spotify. I'd really like to see that you can only adjust the one that is playing. (now both spotify and noise are visible, wich is sort of annoying).
I really like to see this

Sweet, but an user button would have been better imho.

*Like* You sir are amazing. I can not wait for Luna (I use the pre-release builds on my laptop) and Look forward to seeing all the extra changes made with Luna+1

I often times switch back and forth between my webcam's mic and a mic built in to my wireless headphones. I wonder if toggling back and forth between both those options could some how be integrated into this.
Maybe by clicking on the mic icon or the speaker icon you could get a list of choices? Though that might clutter things up. Another option might be having the on/off toggles instead be a dropdown of some sort that has 'off' as an option.

I personnaly don't think that airPlay is a good choice since it's proprietary software. It already exists DLNAβ¦
But in all case, that looks very nice, the 3 buttons are more consistant than the Ubuntu oneβ¦

Heh, reminds me of the indicator popups in litestep.

Regarding the popover, it's already pretty much implemented and works pretty amazingly lol

What about a shortcut to rate the song being played, either with stars or with thumbs up/down? I found myself installing CoverGloobus to have access to this single feature.

I think it makes more sense to have sliders for Notifications, Microphone, Music, Video, rather than app specific sliders to be honest.

The icons are too big, i think they should be minimal, 22x22 maybe.

There's a really good reason that they need to be this large. It's part of a bigger design plan

I quite like the implementation of muting. It's very intuitive and clear.
BTW, Is it going to be available for Luna?
π: 0 β©: 1
No our indicator/notifications work isn't set to land until Luna +1

Why not ship it as an update to Luna? Don't chew on me for this, but I never got the point of waiting 6 months just to add in a feature.

If it *can* run on Luna than I don't see why we wouldn't let Luna get that update. But sometimes updates require newer libraries or a different architecture that just isn't available in an older release.

Really? That surprises me a little, I kinda figured it would've been one of the higher priority things. Why so?

Luna had its feature freeze around the end of February.

I appreciate that, I just figured that it would've been one of the first things to actually do, since it's a pretty important part of the OS.

I dunno, I guess we thought we would be happy with Ubuntu's indicators, then they started to get silly. xD

Ah okay. That makes sense.
Wotevz, hopefully the release cycle for Luna+1 will be shorter than from Jupiter to Luna anyways, since you guys have your own UI and apps down.

Great. Thanks for replying.

I would like to see controls under the album picture, something like this (sorry, didn't try my best on this):

And rate stars under the song name or something like that...

Gorgeous.
Now you've just got to add a sound manager to Luna. Like iOS, automatically pause the music player app when the movie player app starts a movie. Then you can justify the mini-player as an interface to the sound manager and therefore the system, not apps.
Also I'd say put a small icon of the current music-playing app in the bottom right corner of the album art. So that you know which app is playing music, in case of third-party music players.

i like it, tho something about the buttons centered under the info isn't sitting right with me. probably something to do with the alignment of the other items. your alignment/placement is always enviable

Dan, if you want to get rid of messaging menu, why not do the same with sound indicator? I mean, how often do you set volume of your mic, and more important... why to put all sound related actions in one pop-over? When person listens to music, he/she doesn't probably want to acces mic settings and vice versa - person chatting over skype won't have a need for playing songs.
The point is, maybe app-centring approach is the one to follow? I really like what KevinKleinman has stated. Also, putting in all the staff from future voice/video chat app would probably make it messy.
Just wanted to share my thoughts. all the sliders are gonna be grey, though? And would you please not make pointers metal-like? Even apple ditched this design.

Sure, things will only appear as they make sense. If your microphone is not in use, the microphone slider would not show. If music is not playing, the mini-player would not show. So in most usage, these items will not appear together at the same time. On first run, the only thing you'll see is the volume slider. I'm simply showing here the most complex possible version of the menu. But the menu only becomes as complex as your usage is.
