Suggestion: swipe from the top for events view [Sailfish OS 2.0] [not relevant]
What do you think of a swipe from the top for events and taking ambiances to the left side of the home screen?
I know this is less unlike, but has advantages:
- makes events view easily accessible from everywhere, just with a single swipe;
- reserves two left and right swipes the same, making unlocking the device with the left hand easier.
pro: have notifications avaliable from everywhere con: 1) reaching the top of the phone is with the current size not ghe most easy thing (at least for most femals round here ;) ), i'd prefer moving it to left and letting people decide which way (left/ right handed) they want to use the phone 2) like you said: really every other OS uses notifications from top, even if there is no real need for it being on top instead of any other side
