Option to always show big app covers (maximum 4 at once)

Since starting with 1.1.9 there is no more limit on the number of covers shown, it would be good to be able to optionally always show big covers, i. e. when four apps are open, opening the fifth one the covers would not resize to the "small" size to show nine at the same time.

Yep, perhaps simply doing it the way it was done in Nokia N9: By pinch-zoom.

I'd very much like that too, as my eye-sight isn't getting any better...

I like that. But I would also welcome kinetic scrolling to see the other covers further below.

@vandersmash: It's there starting from 1.1.9.

I made a patch for that: https://openrepos.net/content/eugenio/patch-force-large-covers-application-switcher

It also tweaks a bit the homescreen so that:

  • The status bar sticks at the top even when scrolling through the open applications.
  • The status bar background is more prominent, easing its readability
  • The application switcher doesn't scroll to the top anymore when peeking/returning to the home screen.
