Hi guys, I know the development of atom-dash is already underway, but I
have some complaint regarding of its name.

In short (and pictures), my complaint is explained on these
pictures<http://imgur.com/a/39jJT>
.

The gnome-shell as we knew it, has Overview that displayed when users click
"Activities" button in top right or pressed Super/Windows button. Overview
contains many component, such as Dash, View Selector, Workspace Thumbnails,
and Search Box. Dash is a component on the *left side of Overview* that
contains *list of favorite applications and running application*, while
View Selector contains list of all applications, frequent applications,
windows list and Workspace Thumbnail in the *center stage of Overview*.
Thus, I believe it is inappropriate to name our implementation of
application list as "Dash". I suggest to change the name to
"atom-viewselector" or "atom-overview" or even "atom-appdisplay", depends
on the range of implementation (e.g. do we nuke the default Overview that
shows windows and workspace thumbnail?, if it is then we're implementing
the whole Overview)
