Comment (by pablohoneyhoney):
Nice reference from @wildworks, works well color-wise, adjusting to
themes. And good point from @westonruter: this connects to some smaller UI
options I had above, but making it more prominent feels right now — like
in the editor itself, and across other experiences like Slack, browsers,
etc. — to teach the UX behavior at a meta level.
Rather than stressing over perfect centering (the bar adapts across UI
contexts, and plugins will inevitably break precise positioning anyway),
I'd lean into making it front-and-center in the bar by design, owning that
prominence intentionally.
Longer term (hoping not so long), I can see this UI absorbing other
functions that currently have visual presence elsewhere, and eventually
becoming intelligent and contextual.
