My design is purely for the main page - the first view when opening the dash. From there it should behave normally. As it is today the dash already links to lenses (files & folders etc.) so that's why I find them completely unnecessary in the launcher panel, they just waste space. Mine and many more ideas can be found in the Community Proposed Unity Design document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13d-82URPS09y7KU2JntbvT_JkFXYxccNKFWOUj0Mhdw/edit?hl=sv&authkey=CPXZ690J
