Bug Description

build 199
- open the "new tab" option on toolbar
- see the list of Top Sites is displayed with a small Favicon in a large white square, it looks very lonely :)

I know the design calls for thumbnail previews of the top sites, but this will not be ready in time for RTM.

So we need an interim solution that looks better then the current solution until thumbnail previews land.

Possible Ideas:
- make Top Sites a simple list, similar to history view with Favicon on the left
- don't change the layout, but use a background image in the square with the favicon overlayed on top

We decided for still having the grid at the bottom of the screen. Same asset as in Tabs
