What I see is :
                             Top shell bar               Onion
                                    |                      |
                                    v                      v

                                                  |Open Tor Monitor|
                                                  +----------------+

Would this address your requirements?

By the way, I'm not sure the onion should be green. For better
integration into GNOME Shell I think it should perhaps be monochromatic.
