exactly. i don't think it would be wise to remove it from the edge of the
screen. One could keep it in the top right, make it a large button and give
it a more prominent coloring when the dash is open, but that would require
a proper visual design of the whole indicator wing at the top right.
I'm positive that will happen in the near future, my guts are telling me
so..

look at this for example:

what we have now is much better already!
now it needs to be stepped up into a proper design, away from the rusty
plain old menu stuff that has been around from ever since back in the day..
