Bug Description
Progress bar on launcher icon should be at the bottom, not the middle. I think that would make for a more visually pleasing design. Especially when you have small icons; the progress bar and badge cover so much of the middle of the icon that you can't really see what icon it is any more.

Currently, having the progress bar in the middle does cover up (small) launcher icons while the progress bar is active e.g. file transfers, downloads, etc.
However, one argument for keeping the progress bar in the middle, is it lines up nicely with the triangular pip that indicates which programs are active in the launcher.
I can submit a screenshot if this is unclear.
