That's a shame. Thanks to look into it!

Let's skip this for now. See the ticket.

Great!

I don't have access to the windows computer any more, but looking at
screenshots should give some ideas. The blueprint page for 'wheezy'
links to several gnome themes, and many of them have authentic windows 8
icons in the systray. You could also look at icons from the xp theme
('gnome-xp-icon-theme' in our APT repo) in the worst case.

Awesome! Would you mind preparing a package and upload it to the APT
suite of some fitting branch? E.g. bugfix/7328-clock-color (so
bugfix-7328-clock-color for the APT suite).

Well, you closed it, but I agree.

I'd rather avoid more round-trips so just pick the low-hanging fruit.
The goal is this:

It's of course quite obvious it won't be possible to perfectly replicate
it without a significant time investment.

Let's discuss! Here's my argument:

While the Launcher bar is shown by default in Windows 8, it is optional.
However, the same application always "groups" extra instances into a
single icon, so the same icon never appears more than once. So, I wonder
why my proposal makes it worse. I can get why it's worse
convenience-wise, but stealth (which includes avoiding impossible stuff
like 2+ of the same icons in the panel) always trumps it in camouflage mode.

Cheers!
