[feature-request] Make topmost row of launcher accessible on lock screen when device is locked
asked 2015-11-15 03:23:24 +0300
On SailfishOS 2.0 there's an inconsistency in accessing launcher from lock screen. When device is locked, the launcher is not available at all and the user has to use pulley menu to launch an app.
To solve this issue we can make the topmost row of lanucher accessible. It will be very useful especially when device is locked to have a consistent experience. It should be read-only just like launcher hinting on home, only to open few most frequent apps.
Note: This is not to have launcher hinting on lock screen, but to make part of launcher accessible via an edge swipe on lock screen when device is locked.
you mean lock screen or home screen?

To that end, the lock screen should not offer anything other than moving to one of the interactive screens, and even that should be in such a way that it is difficult to do by accident. What you are proposing flies directly in the face of the whole idea of a lock screen. You may as well not have it at all.

If the problem was what you're talking about, the launcher wasn't accessible from the lock screen at all.

AliN ( 2015-11-15 20:48:58 +0300 )edit@venomousbane, I'm talking about device lock that you need to enter the code to unlock. The whole launcher is accessible from the lock screen, no problem with that. I want it partially available even when device is code locked.
