[Design] Alternate sidebar designs for icons and the overlay state -- last call for votes

[Sheila Mooney]

I had a couple of Chandlers running for the day yesterday and tried  
out all the alternatives - current and John's proposals. I also like  
the current design best. I don't like the white space to the left of  
the collection icon...it just looks like there's a bug. The dot in my  
opinion makes the sidebar look visually cluttered. What we have now  
just looks a bit cleaner.

The "eye" icon has taken me a bit of time to get used but I don't  
find it visually jarring. I am confident that we can iterate on this  
with Mimi when she gets back.

Cheers,
Sheila
