Public bug reported:
When an app is minimized, and the launcher is hidden, the app's launcher
icon peeks out from the side. This is a really nice effect, but I think
the icon pops out too far and is distracting. I'm trying to dismiss the
application from my view, and I get startled by the pop out. More than
once I've reopened the app thinking that it had gotten an URGENT hint
and it wanted to tell me something important.
I think a much smaller peek would accomplish the same goal of letting me
know exactly where I can find the launcher, but without calling as much
attention to the application which I've just tried to shove out of my
mental model.
