Here’s one bit of UI that I think I have decided on, but I also have to explain myself:

So to the “count’s” config popover I’ve also added window settings that can be customized per window. It’s a lot of UI, but doing it this way allows the titlebar to stay simple. I tried many different symbols/positions for another menu, they all looked to subtract more then they added.

So that’s what’s up with this. Plus if you are looking at this UI too much you are probably wasting time, so I don’t want to make it that pleasant!
