Yes, I have made more changes...I do wish I had the skills to do more than
mockups. :)

I've added a scope graphic to show that both lenses and scopes and their
options would be listed.

Also, I've greyed out the "remove" button (minus sign) on the bottom of
that list since the current selection is the Dash Home and we wouldn't want
users removing that. ;)

Also, in regards to the Internet accessing lenses/scopes couldn't the
toggle be under the individual settings for the scope/lens that access
internet; one selects the shopping lens, for example, and just disables it.
So it would be more tailored to privacy, knowing which actually have
internet access and which you have disabled -instead of disabling *en
masse- *and you could pick and choose; "I don't want the shopping lens
because I have privacy concerns (for whatever reason ;] ), but I like the
weather scope" etc.
