Use INI files to configure theme, accent color, buttons to show in the Action Center, etc.

Actually, as of DP2 only the layout is being stored in a YAML file, and configuration is in INI files. I'll leave this open as there are more cool ideas...

I just realized that setting rowSpacing and columnSpacing values to 10 for the GridLayout ends up making medium tiles take up 150 width (70*2 for the small tiles as the primary cell size = 140 + 10 for spacing = 150), etc.

I think I might be able to use the GridLayout and put each tile into a 70x70 Item, then change the tile's RowSpan and ColumnSpan when resizing them. Or maybe,...

I'll be using the TilesGrid component I found before. Need to merge it with my code.

The scrollbar for the All Apps list (and some other things; an option to display one on the Start screen may be a good idea for accessibility so it's easier to scroll) can use something like `opacity: active ? 1 : 0` so it's not always visible.

We need to keep this open for now because the scrollbar doesn't only show up when it's needed then disappear as soon as possible. I don't know how to make...

Perhaps it would be useful to put the code that pins tiles into its own library that other apps can benefit from, and use D-Bus (see comment).

Or maybe it would involve D-Bus messages. That may be easier to manage, so then we can know when to pin a new tile and show where it was placed.

Oops, pushed the wrong button.
