RE: Suggestion: make the "Windows" and "Activities", application icons activate on mouse over



At this point I'm wondering why "Activities" is its own button.
Why not have "Windows" and "Applications" up in the main top bar and eliminate the need for the "Activities" button (which would have the same effect as "Windows")

"Windows" would be in the upper left and act just like "Activities" does now.  "Applications" would be to the right of that (or somewhere else?) and act like going to the overview then applications.

The upper left button behaves the same, no loss of functionality, yet the new "Applications" one gets the user to the Applications grid with less mouse movement.
