I don't like how the lens are looking for 11.10 in unity so I
made come mock ups.
I think all the mockups give the impression that selection of the
lens directly affects the search bar, while not making it apparent
that the whole lens area is affected. Overall though I think I
like the second one the best, the other two will suffer as more
lenses are added but do utilise the screen better.
I don't mind the control at the top, which to me would make more
sense as you have just selected the lens launcher and thus the
lens selection is on the same level, kinda consistent with
applications that have window controls or application controls
along the top. In my mind, the lens selection should be near the
top, not at the bottom (though maybe for a touch screen it's
irrelevant as you would swipe between lenses I presume).
Do you mind if I ask how you did the mockups? Do you just use The
Gimp?
Cheers,
James.

I like them on the top too!
I suggested this a while back
(https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg06884.html) and got a slightly
warm response.I went ahead and made a patch to unity that puts the bar
on top.(see mockup) I mailed the diff to the ayatana-dev mailling list
but have got no response till now. I've attached a screen shot and the
diff.
