New menu bar concept - critique please!

Hi All,

So, I am wondering… when most application’s menus don’t take up that much space on the menu bar, why have the menu bar stretch the entire width of the screen? Why not make it shorter and use it to help brand the application rather than just some tiny icon on the Title bar? By doing so, you also create more room for the tool bar and its icons.

Someone may have done this before, but I have never seen it.

So, what do you guys think?

Also, do you like the look of the application and the Tool Bar?

Thanks!

Steve
