Thanks, I'm always wondering if boot2docker is running, this is great to have at a glance.<p>However, I think the click action is mystery meat. I expect when I click a menu bar item that I get a menu showing more details and actions. The way it works now, one click kills my VM, which is not a great UX for something between a bunch of other status icons.<p>Also,<p>> Just click the whale, and you're off to the races.<p>doesn't really communicate what happens.
I think I have an older version of boot2docker installed or it's in some sort of weird state, because it goes to loading then crashed.<p>Either way this is very helpful, always hated having that thing running when I did not need it.<p>EDIT: I know this guy IRL.
The icons are poorly designed, in my opinion - its very difficult to tell what exactly is happening by the icon. On my Mac, I have my Finder color set to black, and the little whale icon is completely indistinguishable. It looks like white-noise. So, some feedback: add some color to the GUI, like "RED = stopped, GREEN = running, AMBER = changing state" perhaps ..
