The area with the stage screenshot is meant to be a slideshow. we could  
show an overview of the category (eg desktop, mobile etc) on the first  
slide.
if somebody wants to know, which apps there are, he would probably head to  
the 'All apps' or 'What is calligra' menu item (which should be the same  
font as all apps in this design btw).
