A suggestions for the OmniWeb app icon:
It would be convenient if there was a preference for enabling the OmniWeb
application icon to indicate the status of the browser -- whether it is
downloading a page or not. Since we have a slow net connection I end up
fetching something in the browser, hiding it for a bit, and then periodically
popping the browser window to the front to see if the page has downloaded yet.
If the app icon could optionally indicate that the browser was downloading,
I wouldn't need to switch back and forth between apps, checking on the
download status. The full rotating globe animation seems a bit much for app
icon animation -- maybe an alternate "connected" icon would be sufficient.
This gets a little strange when OmniWeb gets multiple windows. Perhaps the
minituarized browser window could indicate download status in the event of
multiple browser windows.
