I'm afraid I don't follow you. Maybe you could post in Italian (I guess 
it's your language) and post also an automatic English translation (e.g. 
using translate.google.nl).

Some other remarks, merely my very subjective opinion:
- in the first picture, I don't like so much the layout of the top bar. 
The bar doesn't look so elegant, as the rest of the design, because:
-- it looks  un-organised with wasted space. I suppose the two icons on 
top left represent running applications. I would rather have mini-icos 
representing running applications, fit next to the already existing 
min-icons, without a need to expand de top bar.
-- IMHO, the notification/info mini icons should also never move (they 
went down with the expansion). They should provide a sense of 
stability/anchor to the interface.

BTW, what would your interface do when a category has more icons than 
can be fitted in one line? Would it work like a horizontal scrollbar or 
would the area expand vertically to fit all icons, or...

I hope I'm not making you loose motivation with my challenges. I really 
like the visuals and it looks a clean, elegant and intuitive interface. 
I would love to have something along those lines in my FR.

Regards,
Fernando
