I understand that actual rules exist for this, the fact remains that having
1 letter out of all the default launchers not capitalized, in my opinion,
seems like an oversight, and more or less makes the new Dash button look
like an afterthought that was hastily tacked on and forgotten. Could someone
please point me to the location of the file that contains the settings for
the launcher tool tip text so I can change it on my machine? I really can't
stand seeing it. lol
