Greetings, I think it's useful to get a discussion going every now and then about certain UX paradigms, no matter how small (we're all about attention to detail, right?)
I really don't like the AppMenu icon. The concept is great - Android uses something very similar in the overflow menu, and other operating systems probably do too. It's a fantastic way to hide less commonly used buttons to stop the toolbar getting too cluttered. However, the cog icon doesn't make any sense to me. It sends the message of "Settings/Preferences" to the user, and this is *not *the only thing that the AppMenu is for. It houses About pages, functions (e.g. "Rescan music folder") and more. It would make more sense to change the icon to something similar to Chrome's "3 line" icon (http://i.imgur.com/ryKKG.png) which conveys the message much better. We should ideally try to do this before Luna, since the AppMenu is such a core part of the OS, and we don't want to alienate the flocks of new Luna users in L+1 by changing it then ;) Thoughts?
