Review Notifier2 design (wokhan) #83

Hi @harrwiss,

Regarding activity window, don't you think it would be better to have this shown through systray as well? (either on the actual icon or additional ones, i.e. the same as what you did in this window, but as two additional systray icons). I really like having activity indicators, btw, so we could also offer the option (either through an additional window or systray).

Regarding Notifier main window, I think it's a bit disturbing to have a totally different window layout when there is no blocked connection (and I think there is a minor bug since this message is also displayed when going "further" than the last blocked connection in Notifier :) ). For the whole design, I'm thinking (well.... trying to think) about how we could improve things a bit. I guess Notifier's design (not its entire layout) would then "inherit" what I should eventually come up with for the Console ^^ Your design is clean, but maybe a bit too much clean (I like to have light backgrounds on buttons) ;)

Thanks

Linked to #86 (almost done, wasn't able to work on it as much as wanted though).
