Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
Line 1: Line 1:
Cover what should be in it, how it's always there. Even if you have full screen items. And don't change the layout much.
Line 6: Line 8:
Always there, almost always visible at all times. Can scroll away, such as by attaching to the top of a window when (e.g. browser) space is needed, but always should be there when new pages are loaded.

And... rarely, sometimes not. Like in camera, but it needs to be available whenever you pull up options, etc.

Emergency notifiers... COULD be done by notifications which see, but could be that when critical things are going on (e.g. low battery) this appears anyway; sub-variant: individual notifiers appear, like a red battery icon, but no others.
Line 12: Line 20:
Don't let it change all the time. One layout, one size, one type of icon

Except when notifying of special conditions in places where the rest of the bar is suppressed (e.g. battery on a camera screen), do not pick and choose which items to show. Always show the same set in the same manner.
