Subject: Re: [Unity-design] More visible already started/active application in 
Launcher (for TV/tablets/phones)

Am I the only one for whom this is not a problem? If I want to use an app, I'll 
click on it regardless of whether it's running or not. If I want to see what's 
running, the indicators are fine (I'm putting effort into it anyway), and if I 
just want to open it, I'll just click, on it.
