Ah ok i get you now.
So how about unity launcher, NO appmenu, wingpanel 48px transparent and
transparent titlebars with large "hide" button and large "float" button?
"float" button would scale down the window aka document and make it
transparent just like when i'm moving windows in compiz in current natty.
also.. i suggest strongly to reduce the opacity by at least another 10% by
default..
