What RFBriggs is after is the 1.8.2 behavior, I think, where if you had no due soon or overdue actions, you would get a count of Inbox actions in the menu bar instead of the little OmniFocus icon or count that you get now. I haven't found a way to re-enable that behavior, but maybe the support ninjas can get the definitive word from engineering. It seems a bit arbitrary that they took away the Inbox count in favor of a little icon when nothing is due, but give us the count if something is imminent or overdue. That doesn't make much sense if the concern is someone won't know what a number in a gray oval means :-)

The icon + the color-coded count seems like a decent compromise (and indeed, that's exactly what the app putting up a menu right next to the OmniFocus menu on my system does).
