Comment (by saint):
As arlolra mentioned, after some discussion and delays, snowflake is to be
included in Cupcake as a replacement for flashproxy. There are other
roadmap items, but those are pushed back pending funding. Cupcake has
~4000 users on Chrome, and a few dozen on Firefox (which needs to be
rewritten).
Currently, when flashproxy is active, the cupcake becomes a happy cupcake
with eyes and a mustache. I did a lot of user testing with movement and
soft/subtle gradient shifts, but unfortunately they all proved too
distracting to end-users. The mustache is just enough of a change to be
noticeable but not enough to steal focus from page content. So for
snowflake, a color change would probably work better than a rotation.
