Public bug reported:

The new favourite/pinned indication (white pinning dot) in the launcher
icons hasn't really been well received. The problem is that most of the
apps in the launcher are user's favourite apps. Or at least the bottom
most apps. And the indicator becomes quite intrusive. If anything we
should have an indication on recent apps but for now we're happy not to
have anything.

So having the indication of favourite app was a bad design decision from
our side. We had it before so that there was visually no difference
between favourite and recent applications and would like to revert back
to that situation.

-------------------------------
Proposed design

Remove white pinning dot from favourite apps.
