Created attachment 237384 [details] screenshot The top padding on search results selection frame is too tight.

Created attachment 237825 [details] layout guidance Having done some experiments with this, the attached layout like a good way forward. It might make sense to deal with bug 691578 at the same time.
Created attachment 237857 [details] updated layout guidelines One thing we need to do is make sure that the application names are able to be wider than the icons. This will prevent some of the ellipsisation that we currently see in the application view. I've also added a variant that will work with larger text, if we decide to go ahead with bug 695026.

Ellipsisation is one thing, but ellipsising two different launcher titles with identical icons, so that they can't be told apart any more (different versions of the same program for instance) is a bigger problem IMHO.
Created attachment 253030 [details] [review] fixes top padding and the Icon size The patch fixes the top padding and the Icon size according to your Guideline. I guess the text spacings will be slightly less trivial to fix, unfortunately I could not figure out how to influence the text paddings for now.
Created attachment 253031 [details] Icon spacing with patch applied And this is what it looks like.

Just wanted to point out that I submitted a patch there that fixes the different Icon border-radius in picker and search results.
Thanks Florian for your work! Looks pretty nice! But secretly I was doing a project, the app picker redesign, and I did already a patch for it that covers more cases (like the dash, the spacing between the label and the icon) and also I adjusted the value to the needs the new app picker demands to fit 4 rows of icons in 900px height screen resolutions. Sorry for not told this in the bug, I didn't see this bug report before. The new bug report that covers that is: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=706081
