The toolbar feels cramped and the position of the > progress bar is completely wrong IMO. Same here - the progress bar directly at the bottom of the toolbar is too low and compressed with the text. Getting the slider to appear might be quite difficult. Additionally, it would appear everytime the cursor slides over the progress bar which seems annoying to me. One idea struck me thinking about the low progress bar though: What about having the progress bar cover the whole top bar in some transparent way? Having it behind all the buttons would look nice, but also make seeking hard since some areas are covered by buttons. Maybe something similar?
