Overall I like the idea and most of the design. There are a lot of awesome little touches in it. But a lot of small things seem weird. Maybe some of these can be smoothed out for the full release:
- The status item (why?) that doesn't have a
drop-down menu at all, but simply shows/hides the
application?
- The slightly-off-feeling fonts and buttons
(especially labelled buttons like "save" and "send").
- The hidden-seeming account preferences that you can
only access by double-clicking.
- Some sort of custom implementation of a toolbar
that bypasses the normal configuration option for
toolbars in OSX apps.
- No option for plain text composing. I know it's
minimalist so you might want to minimize options,
but nothing's more minimalist than plain text.
