This is verryyyyy good. I liked it cause it gives a mac os UI feeling. It made me really happy that i found this. Good job on making this. I would have a suggestion to make if you will implement it. - When we create shortcuts give us more icons to choose with or let us upload our own and if not these then make it so that when we enter the website its logo automaticly becomes the shortcut logo I mean make it so that we will get logo on shortcut once we enter the site URL like other browsers/search engines

This was great once I figured out how to turn off the news feed (confusingly placed under show/hide icons). The only thing I would ask for is a "snap to grid" function so I can rearrange my icons and still have them still line up.
