Fancy Menu - place, or allow user to place, search next to lock/logout icons [Feature request] #2008

The QLineEdit search field being located at the top looks...a little odd. Would it be possible to either hardcode it, or add the option to move it, to the same bounding box that holds the Options and Logout buttons, to the left of it?

Also, maybe adding the user's avatar (if one exists, e.g., accountsservice) and either GECOS comment field, or Unix username if not found, to some space above?

Here's a quick and very dirty mockup in the GIMP, showing what this might look like with the Leech theme: Mockup

The search field could be allowed to move to bottom, although for a top panel it's good as it is. But I don't think displaying avatar and username is needed - users know who they are and how their avatar looks.

I agree. It clutters the widget for no good reason.

It could be an option maybe?

Also: possibly an option to hide the Category view and let the Apps view take the entire section up? I apologize in advance if this sounds like demanding a lot of free hard work from actual coders, since I don't know how difficult this all would be.
