This improvement sound great, nice work! But you're late :)

This is already a work-in-progress with Unity 2D. Tiago Herrmann has 
been watching your changes
and getting Unity 2D ready for it.

It requires a few changes on our part as we've been ignoring the home 
lens and using a QML file
for it instead. But this will mostly simplify logic for us, so thanks!

Good weekend!
