well i hope i understood right.

i watched many videos and saw many pictures, but i didnt see small notification icons, just the banners. i thought it would be usefull to have small icon on the desktop on the side of reception bars, statuslight, Wireless activity GPS activity icons. new mail envelope with@, sms an envelope SMS stating in it, mms envelope with MMS, IM a speech bubble with "IM" in it. and for backround media an arrow with a music note just to inform you "hey there is media activity in the background" since you could be on a desktopview with out the music player widget on, and just forgotten you have the media player on for the whole day
