Replacing the indicators with a notification is also a good idea, but seems to me to be more of a fancy theme for our notification bubbles, the default imo should be near the indicators yet should not obscure them. Remember: the indicator menus are for interaction, this area of the panel is for interaction, the indicators are not only control LEDs to monitor the state of a service.. obscuring a group of special menu buttons would be too obtrusive.. Also remember that you are consciously adding constraint to the already spartan design up there, this should only happen when your use case's affordance character strongly depends on adding this constraint. Constraint per se has no function other than to limit, prevent, secure or protect. Only critical system alerts would in this case be valid for your design, as great as it is, still.. Thanks for an incredible addition to the markup-based interaction designs.. i hope we will continue to see those css3 mockups here.. :D
