Re-designing Google talk

Thought that Google talk needs a cleaner, newer look. I have  tried to provide quick access to important actions through this design. Here’s my attempt to make it look better.

 

Firefox Dashboard concept

While menus in browsers are now available under a single button, menu items are still displayed in a dropdown list. This concept of mine presents a solution where users click one button and are taken to the dashboard where all settings , history, bookmarks,addons etc are available. It also enables users to search across them. Now menus are easier to use and in one place.
