Hi,
               May I please request to make those several other points of
Unity more clear.
Please forgive my ignorance.

I agree that there in no reason for the window controls to be in the panel.
I personally think there is no reason for any window that is not maximized
to have controls and menus on the top panel. It makes unnecessary mouse
travels; though I can understand it might me useful for small form factors.

I also never understood the philosophy behind making panels transparent
when dash is called -- please forgive my ignorance once again.

So far consistency is concerned I never felt that the circular windows
controls consistent with any part of unity.

Personally I don't know much of advantages of having panel in left apart
from having more vertical space. But I see the challenges it presents to
make a consistent design.

"Unselfishness is more paying only people have not the patience to practice
it."

" 'I love you' is a wrong sentence as where, there exist 'I' and 'you' love
can not. Love is an attribute of the absolute."
