Development for the Galaxy Nexus and ICS is booming right now and there are a plethora of goodies available for your testing pleasure. The developer who created the Trebuchet launcher that will be found in CM9, has tweaked the app a bit and released an alpha version for the public. While the Trebuchet launcher is based off the stock ICS launcher, XDA member and dev, nebkat, added some neat features and has plans to release more in the near future. Check out this description from the XDA thread:
