Revision history [back]

Hello there folks. My first post, here we go: I just wonder if it would make any sense to further streamline the way we change between the apps in sailfish.

As you know, switching between the apps currently works like this: 1. Swipe sideways to minimize the active app. 2. After swipe, lift yout finger. 3. press to swich to another app.

But how about this: 1. Swipe sideways (from the top half of the screen) to minimize the current app + continue the same swipe to highlight the app you want to use next. 2. Lift your finger to switch to highlighted app.

If you would swipe from the bottom half of the screen, it should just minimize the current app, as in current version.

I know it's not a big hassle to lift your finger and press the cover to change active app, and changing this behaviour would not propably even save any time. Somehow I still like the idea to have one smooooth continuous swipe instead of swipe-tap combo. What do you think? Madness?

I was as gonna upload fancy example screens but requies karma. So use your imagination pls :)
