Description
Launchbox currently has borders around it's buttons, about a few pixels, this makes it much less suited to placing it at the edge of the display since the buttons are much harder to reach like this.
Just to clarify, i am not reffering to the window borders but the borders within the view itself.

Making the buttons grow until they reach the border eats the margin between buttons and still needs a pair of extra pixels to maintain the square shape. Also the buttons better be flush with one another so that they don't get unnecessarily separated.
I think it still looks good, and the usability of it will gain in agility.
The icing in the cake will be if LaunchBox pads retained the same "magnetic" effect that sticks them to the border of the screen that they have when the window borders are activated, so that the positioning of the pad and the subsequent aiming and clicking becomes foolproof.
