Hello there, joining the conversation.
It seems that this thread is closely related to the project I started
working on a year and a half ago, Lutris ( http://lutris.net ).
For the moment I've only implemented what I call 'runners' for a bunch of
emulators and whatever program that can run games.

You can already do that for applications that have been patched for
Unity, namely Firefox and middle-clicking on the launcher will always

The idea of having the boxes around the icons be clear when not
running and colored when running is a good one. the fading bit is too
distracting.

Another approach for showing which applications are started could
be to decrease the icon size
Is it really? I mean you won't keep staring at the launcher when you've
launched the application you wanted, right? Try the launcher again and then
move away the focus of your eyes to the middle of the screen where your
application probably will popup, try imagining it in a real life situation.

That actually sounds very interesting! I was going to install the
application to try it out but got the following error message in Ubuntu

I just can't help but get annoyed over that if you place something on the
desktop it never looks organized. There is always some small irregularity
when you try to put folders, devices or shortcuts in a relatively grid-like
pattern. The "keep aligned" option doesn't even keep the items aligned. You
As USC is designed today you can only navigate up and down in the categories
with the use of breadcrumbs. But you cannot choose to move backwards or
forwards as you expect in today's most browsing applications. If I download
a .deb package into my Downloads folder and open it in USC to install it a
I have Back/Forward buttons in USC. They do go away if I click on a
different category, but if I click on "Get Software", they come back, and I
can continue with the installation.

Yeah, but as you said, they are only visible when you are on the main "Get
software" category, not when you browse "installed software" or
subcategories like "For purchase" and other repositories. Isn't this a
rather strange design choice? Isn't it confusing for the end user if it's
only visible so
Yeah I think they do too, but I wasn't sure if the Unity shell implemented
it's own version of the desktop or something like that. I said "Since Gnome
2.x is an alternative desktop session that will probably not disappear in
the near future it should be fixed for that as well" more as another reaso

The launcher doesn't have the ability to open a new window (yet?).
Perhaps this should be added to quicklists.
4. I fully agree categories (sections in lenses) need easier access
and need to be more visible. I'm not sure if you

I don't think he was talking about the initial fade you get after
selecting your first app, where you would be moving away like you
said.
For me, the distraction is when you have an app running
already, and then go back to the bar to hover over a diff app and
it fades again (unless firefox is mang
