Bug Description

Binary package hint: netbook-launcher

Hi

I would prefer if netbook-lancher would use a star in the topright overlay on top of application icons when the mouse is over them instead of a plus; star is the convention to mark places as favorites and we could keep the start lighten up if it's already a favorite.

Thanks

To me, a star means creating something new, whereas "+" means adding something or perhaps increasing some value. Most icon sets I can think of use a star, although I honestly cannot remember what OSX uses, maybe this is where the idea came from?

Favorites remind me of bookmarks in Firefox which use a star in the awesome bar.
