Bug Description

[Updated description]

In launcher, active application is marked with a small arrow, on the right side of application icon.
Unfortunately it is difficult to this find tiny arrow on small phone screen (especially in full sun).

Please take a look at attached screenshot.

Proposal:
Change tiny arrow of the active application, to something bigger and more visible (especially in full sun)

–––

Update 04/08/15:

This issue should be covered as part of a bigger piece of work on Focus and Select states.

Thanks kevin.
This bug is not duplication of #1471577.
The issue is that is hard to notice active application with tiny arrow.

We're currently looking at focus and select state for the launcher as part of a bigger piece of work. We will update the design for this soon which should fix this issue.
