The only potential problem I see with animating the launcher before
maximising the window / showing the maximised window is a perceived
speed decrease. People may become frustrated thinking that it is because
the computer cannot handle animating the launcher and maximising the

Or tags? Hierarchies are not the only way to store data.

I have often felt that hierarchies, whilst sufficing initially, are a
poor way to organise data since, by their very nature, an item can only
exist in one folder.
Hard links get around this problem but personally I would love to see

The backlights in 3d have a background and a border. The border is

The backlights in 2d lack this feature.
I will file a wishlist bug later, should be an easy fix.

WOW. If they implement all of that it will be fantastic.
I know there may be quite a few users who would question the removal of
workspaces by default, but:

Don't mean to take the wind out of your sails but it looks to me like a

On top of that, rather than build from scratch I would suggest that the

an addition of features to Marlin would be better?
