Application Launcher Concept

We needed a mechanism to launch applications. Horace's Genesis project was far enough along to allow me to quickly write some code to pull out the desktop category and applications. I had just finished a Film Strip UI pattern. Combining those two together provided the foundation for the application you see in this screencast.

You can download the original Ogg file here.

You can watch the streaming video here.

In the video you will notice there are a lot of gray circle icons -- the code is currently only looking for scalable SVG and 128x128 icons.

For the purpose of the screencast, I'm using Pippin's custom cursor code hooked into clutter-box2d and the launcher application.
