Those look very good!
I noticed that you added a bar on some lenses, to prompt the user to
setup Online Accounts or Ubuntu One. However, in theory, both of them
could be available for the same lens: the music lens could feature
results from the Ubuntu music store via Ubuntu One, as well from last.fm
via Online Accounts (it's just an example, there isn't a last.fm lens
AFAIK).
So, I'd suggest that you remove the bar, and instead add a "Setup Online
Accounts..." and "Setup Ubuntu One..." button (or maybe just a link is
even better?) next to the "[] Online Account" and "[] Ubuntu One"
checkboxes.

Also, I see that the design is inconsistent with the Online Accounts
panel, where the master enable/disable switches are on the right pane,
and the items (account/lenses) in the left would appear greyed out when
disabled.

Ciao,
