Attachment: One idea on how to show zoom-level

When zooming into a page, there should be a visual indicator to inform the user what zoom level they are at.

Attached is one idea for a possible implementation that shows an overlay on the page for a moment as the user keyboard zooms in and out.

Another possible implementation would be to include the zoom-level in the URL bar, and leave it there is the zoom-level of the page is not at 100%. Clicking it could reset the page.

Another idea could just be to redesign the zoom controls toolbar set so it takes up less of a footprint in the toolbar. http://i.sevaan.com/image/0t2D2x0k1H0V
