Hello!

Easy question: when just one app is running, why it has same size as when you have up to 4 apps running? Wouldn't be better to have it 4x times bigger, "full-screen" so to say, and therefore more manageable and readable? Often I have just one app open (whatsapp for example), and I would find this bigger app cover much more comfortable to use.

When you open many apps, their active cover resize to a smaller dimension, so I believe should be not so difficult to make the same effect in the other way round!

Please vote this proposal, and let's implement this change in the next update please!!

This would not much differ than running this one application full-screen. In fact, what is the reason for keeping an app in app switcher mode when you have just one app open? Just have it full screen.

Having it like it is now serves well to indicate that SailfishOS is a multitasking system - having these three "slots" free hints you that you can have more apps open. And for app developers, saves us to make yet another size of the cover.

I agree with @smoku, it is better the current way. Besides, there is no problem interacting with the cover of the size it is.

Moreover, you would have continuous cover size switching when opening and closing a second application.
