A recent #Thunderbird Daily build introduced a nice, subtle change to the Application menu, aligning it with the window action buttons.

And a small green dot indicates that an update is available.

Thoughts?

Linux Mint's coloured dot on the Update icon on the bottom panel also works for me; presumably this looks consistent across platforms so... fine, but individual apps notifying of updates: potentially redundant and perhaps best confined to security updates?

Looks good, it get's the message across very well without being too intrusive.

But why is "New Account" so prominently placed?
Most people don't add accounts daily. The distance to "Create" is not large enough to avoid mis-clicking, so users will accidently start the account creation quite often.

@vvv We're hearing that from a lot of people and I think it's valid feedback. The new app menu will go through some changes and polish before Supernova (115) ships.

looks great but i hope that the user can choose to also use the desktops own window Decoration because having more than window controls Text and icon up there is for smaller Screenshot unoptimal

The green dot would make me restless. I would prefere something more subtile.

Whats the reason for putting this next to the window controls, rather than in the mail toolbar?

Looks good though!

Currently, the "Work Offline" feature is not in the menu anymore and is nondescript. Can we bring that back into the menu ?

I just downloaded the daily and had a quick look to see what kind of direction it is going in.

It's shaping up beautifully. The amount of progress that has been made since I last looked (just last December) is seriously impressive. Onwards and upwards!
