As far as I'm concerned, I can do without the title bar altogether.
Yeah, I had also considered ditching the title bar entirely as well. Just hadn't gotten that far yet. Considering that the NITs really don't need one (where exactly are you going to drag the window anyways?), there's no point in having it.
Even better, what I would like to see in a GUI, and it would suit what you are doing, is, say, a Full-screen-view desktop that has just a little icon superimposed in a corner (I'm talking about when you have an application open and on top), the clicking of which would reveal your (currently shown) two bars. That is, you could go back and forth between Full-screen and non-Full-screen (what's it called, Window View maybe?) without having to press the little hardware button (which, at least on the N800, is a minor nuisance).
Wow, I like that idea. I could definitely toss that into some future drafts.
Also, within your scheme of things, I would want you to have an alternative desktop (or a "category) that showed the desktop applets, like Internet Radio, OMWeather, FM Radio (on the N800), etc.
Yeah, that's what "home" does. It reveals the desktop with all the applets just like the home option in the pager does in the current design.

Hey, so far these are some great ideas. Keep them coming guys! I'll tinker with the templates a bit more over the weekend and incorporate some of your ideas.
