InfiniteGlassUIConcept-MenuWorkflow

This is the new concept for the window decorations. Don't mind the line, it's a reference for you to be able to see the cursor move.

The core idea is to minimize travel distance.
Clicking will produce the next menu (here, in this example, system menu and then volume menu).
Moving the mouse either way will either backward to the previous menu or forward to the next menu, like mouse buttons would do on a web browser.

Additional ideas:

Mouse over will increase the size of the icon so the user knows it is selected.
Vertical mouse movements will move the icons up or down, if you like that kind of stuff.
Vertical mouse movements will rotate the icons from top to bottom or bottom to top depending on the case.
Mouse wheel will scroll through the icons and rotate them from top to bottom or bottom to t op. (On the spot idea, sounds fantastic!)
