I find it nice to browse through opened apps on the multitasking view (home screen), however, on Jolla Phone their size gets quite small after more than four is opened. Since 1.1.9.28 the home screen is scrollable, so I'd like to find an option to limit the app cover row to only 2 covers on portrait orientation, keeping all the covers larger no matter how many of apps there are.

This would improve also the visibility of the content, and ease using the cover actions, as the area to tap is rather small in the smaller cover size.

An obvious solution would be to use two finger 'zoom' pinch, exactly the way it was done in Harmattan.

Or better: allow us to choose from the sizes, and allow us to pin covers in our chosen order (reshuffle). Let the covers display live notifications too.

It would be somewhat like Windows Phone... but that's OK if it's more practical.
