carousel: thinking and perception about the current design

Hello TJC,

so every one knows what is a carousel, the real one.
This entertainment engine which turn and turn and everyone feel happy to turn around.

mostly that is an engine which is aesthetically fine and go horizontally.
that is magic, i found carousel with their look and moves are magic.

Seems that this concept has motivated to port it into sfos, what is not bad.
On the basis (on my side) i find this idea amazing.

currently there is no partner-space to see.
but i can imagine by seeing the event-panel, app-panel, that with the partner-space panel, then the carousel could be more "magic".
What i don't understand is, when phone-user open more than 9 apps, then a pull action is enable to scroll the all panel up and down.
and at this point, if find the carousel magic broken, because something get bigger and goes up and down, and the carousel goes not wider.
A carousel is more fun if it grows on the width.
Is it unthinkable to create activaly a new app-panel on carousel, beside the first one, if more than 9 app are opened?
With the currently carousel design, it hurts every time my eyes when i see the 2 panel (app-9+ and event one) by turning. And give me not a such good impression if partner space comes in turn.

As i told, that is just thinking with questions.
Not really a proposal, but a kind of introspection where designers could find something else and confront their concept with second meaning.
That is for me not a critic, but a feedback of my perception on it.

If it's not interesting, pass your way and don't downvote it
If instead you need it to do it, then please give your argument, i'd like to have it in constructive way.
Otherwise, please participate on it.
place your remark or further misunderstanding here.
And your perception of it (positive or negative).

Thank you very much for participate. And (that is my thinking) it spares a lot of other one.

Have a good sail
