Bug Description

The new favourite/pinned indication (white pinning dot) in the launcher icons hasn't really been well received. The problem is that most of the apps in the launcher are user's favourite apps. Or at least the bottom most apps. And the indicator becomes quite intrusive. If anything we should have an indication on recent apps but for now we're happy not to have anything.

So having the indication of favourite app was a bad design decision from our side. We had it before so that there was visually no difference between favourite and recent applications and would like to revert back to that situation.

-------------------------------
Proposed design

Remove white pinning dot from favourite apps.
