The folder popup needs to be smaller and the icons inside of it should have the same size of the icons from the app grid
Problems
- In resolutions such as 1024x768 or 1366x768, the app popup takes almost the entire vertical screen space and a huge portion of the horizontal space;
- It locks the dock and other UI elements such as search and workspace switcher;
- Because the popup is so big, there is less room to drag the icon out of the folder;
- The popup steals way too much attention.
Solution
- Make the app icon size the same from the app grid icons size;
- Make the folder popup smaller.

Although I couldn't find a screenshot with 1024x768 resolution, this illustrates how could the proposed solution look like:
That was the only image I could find that shows 3x3 app grid. Unfortunately it is low-res.
