Hi Simone,
It’s a real minor thing, but I find that about 90% of the time when I log in, I don’t want to use it so the first thing I do is collapse it as I find it somewhat obtrusive on the screen. So I thought it would be nice if it was/could be hidden by default and only popped out when required. However, I see on another thread (New Logout button design => New ROR Panel - #10 by ronald.vanboven) you are discussing some redesign that would address my concerns anyway, so I’ll just wait for those updates I guess 
Regards,
Adrian
