Hi Samuel, I love to get my hands dirty. Just give me some time and I’ll send you some mockups. Obviously I believe the numbers sidebar is really well crafted, meaning, I will base my work on that. If that's too close to the apple UI, please let me know. Apart from that I tend to follow the excellent elementary HIG.
