Hey, another simple design proposal: Make the indicators menu a little bit transparen.

The menu is "over" the current app. The user can use this menu without leaving his app. With a transparent effect, it feels more like that he is still in his app and just makes a quick action at the top menu. Also he could still get some information about a change in the current app, for example: I want to look at the calender but in my messenger is a new message. Maybe it is to dark to read the message, but I can see that:

-There has something changed
-The message is very long or very short

For more asthetic: A light blur effect could be a nice eye candy. 🙂

Does "klang" has another meaning in english/spanish? 😄

@krille no, "klang" is just an onomatopoeia in Spanish, a loud metallic sound. And in English, "clang" literally means "metallic sound" 🙂

@all so I would open an issue now at github

Sounds good to me

@all so I would open an issue now at github to implement this, if no one has more ideas about this. 😃

Just need to find the perfect transparency value and it seems to work fine. 🙂

But I still have the default white-ish background and think the text in the dropdown will become hard to read. Maybe post a screenshot of that too?

But it would also need an additional item in the settings and might clutter the settings too much because of too many configurations available.
