Bug Description

Indicate which application is currently selected with extra illumination of the Launcher icon tile. This is *in addition* to the chevron on the right hand side of the Launcher icon tile.

Description:

The Launcher icon of the currently focused application should be highlighted by a glow. Jason, could you have a play with lighting to achieve this effect.
