First: your mockup is very dark :D

I like the idea, but how does adding a new launcher work?
- Do you have to click the green +? or do you just have to select the
new Application
item?
- How does it work with giving it an name and choosing an type?
- And when is a new "new Application" item added - to create a second one?

BTW: the inline-editing in the tree could be improved. It's not very
obvious that
you can edit here - especially for the type.
