====== About the script ======
  * Purpose : This script will take all app shortcuts and place them in a circle.
  * Author : TBog
  * Link: www.google.com/+BogdanTautuTBog

====== How to use the script ======
  - Make sure the items are not on a grid.
  - Make a shortcut that runs this script and put a . as the first character of the label.
  - Click on the shortcut and all items of type 'Shortcut' that do not have a dot as the first character in the label will be positioned on a circle.
  - You can change the order of the items in the circle using "Move forward/backwards" button. The top-most item is at 12-o'clock and going clockwise.
  - If the order of the items is not to your liking, make changes then go to step 3.
  - You can now delete the shortcut to the script.

Note: The top-most item will set the size of all other items.
I have tested this script on a 1080 x 1920 screen (portrait). If you have some other resolution you can change the margin values and the radius (read comments in the script).
====== Script code ======
<code>
var desktop = LL.getCurrentDesktop();
var a = [];
var na = 0;
var items = desktop.getItems();
for ( var i=items.getLength()-1; i>=0; i-=1 )
{
	var item = items.getAt(i);
	if ( item.getType()!='Shortcut' )
	{
		alert(item.getType()+" "+item.getLabel());
		continue;
	}
	if ( item.getLabel().substr(0,1)=='.' )
		continue;
	a[na++] = item;
}
if (!na)
	return;
var x, y;
var size = Math.max(a[0].getWidth(), a[0].getHeight());
var radius = (Math.min( desktop.getWidth(), desktop.getHeight() ) - size) * 0.5;
var margin = 0.2 * size;
radius-= margin;
for ( var i=0; i<na; i+=1 )
{
	x = Math.cos(Math.PI*2*i/na-Math.PI/2) * radius;
	y = Math.sin(Math.PI*2*i/na-Math.PI/2 ) * radius;
	x+= desktop.getWidth()/2;
	y+= desktop.getHeight()-radius;
	x-= size/2;
	y-= size + margin;

	a[i].setScale(1, 1);
	a[i].setSize(size, size);
	a[i].setPosition(x , y);
}
