Projected Dash for possible use in Precise

Registered by John Furfaro

I'd like to say I really like Unity but the dash needs some work. I like the direction canonical is taking with the current Precise build. I'm no programmer (I'm working on it and learning, I am brand spankin' new to Ubuntu) so I made a bit of a botchy mockup in GIMP.

It's melding together the Dash with GNOME3 even further, kind of like Mint but BETTER because there's a dock instead of a bottom panel

Viewports/spaces on the right, lenses toward the middle, refined search bar etc.

Whenever you click on the Dash button one time, this system overview comes up. The Ubuntu logo for the Dash then turns into the "more apps" button and this will list in grid view, similar to GNOME3, all your installed Apps. The search bar remains, obviously. There is lots of space to install more lenses if wanted, and I feel it's an overall more efficient use of space.
