Launcher/Home Page (alpha) Release 0.18

[Warren Baird]

I like the new version - the transparency looks a lot better!

I'm not sure about the scroll bar at the bottom to select the
categories...   I agree it's prettier - but it's also slower to find the
category you want.   Before it was always just two clicks, now it can be
'drag, drag, drag, click'...

also - I can't figure out how to edit the list of category in this version -
how do I do that?

Hmm - do you track when and how many times each app is launched?   I'd love
to see automatically populated categories for 'most recent' and 'most
popular' or something like that...
