Title:
  Only a small area of the unity launcher should unfold when hovering
  the mouse to keep icons visible and switching apps easy.

Bug description:
  unfolding completely makes it one of the hardest launchers/docks to
  switch apps with a mouse, because it hides many of the other icons
  (this affects smaller screens the most, which unity has been designed
  in it's majority to be optimizing for).

  when hovering the mouse on the launcher, the user is only interested
  in a small area, so he/she expects that only the icons in and near
  that area should be the ones unfolding and becoming more visible.

  This would the launcher more accessible, specially when is in auto-
  hide mode.
