I saw this mockup by rylexr <http://rylexr.deviantart.com/> on deviantart today, and think it has some nice ideas to improve the unity launcher. It looks cleaner and more readable, and the idea of combining multiple apps into one launcher looks pretty interesting.

At the very least I think the vertical line to highlight the currently focused application is an excellent and easy to implement idea, as in the current unity launcher there is no real indication of the currently focused app.

VERY nice mockup. It does definitely look cleaner and more readable. There actually is an indication of the currently focused app. You will notice the currently focused app has a triangle on the right side of it. That is the indication. But the vertical line is definitely easier to see and differentiate between open apps and the focused app.
