I personally would like to see system monitor in the overview if possible. I think that fits the design much better. System monitor and weather are all "tasks" so to speak. If you put it in the task bar you're breaking the design as that is where the system applets are. Monitoring your computer is not a system task IMHO. Frankly, I'm very protective what goes into that top bar now as I like keeping it minimalistic and distraction free. A quick hot key will satisfy my curiosity whether the system is running well or not. sri
