Hi Eylem,

it would be interesting if you could try a slight variation of the first
mockup: the Ubuntu button at the bottom-left (like it already is) but the
application launchers aligned on top (like they are in the default Unity
layout). Right now, the mockup feels somewhat unbalanced with the large
'black' space directly below the panel. Moving the icons upwards would fix
that.

The second mockup really doesn't work very well on my laptop. It has a
1366x768 monitor and vertical space is a preciously scarce resource. Losing
~60 pixels of screen estate in toolbars is not really acceptable (this is
why the left-sided placement of the Unity launcher is great).
