Currently I need 1 applet space for the notifications thing (the notifications and applet-switcher normally in the bottom left for the default themes). If that could be worked into the application switcher in diablo5 (the upper left corner), that frees up some space.

Typically I have:
1. Advanced Power
2. Advanced Backlight
3. Connection status
4. Load applet
5. IM status
6. Notifications
7+ GPS, USB, etc (as needed)
