I like it very much but it begs the question what the panel would look like when the launcher is hidden behind a window? I would suggest a comprimise of the 11.04 and this...so when the panel hides it displays the logo like it did in 11.04...keeps the same design like above though only with the curve being hidden with the launcher.



Although if the line always displays like it does on 11.10 then the curve could stay and that might look cool.



Very very good mockup though.
