Revision history [back]

Ok, Jolla, I got the idea. Quick settings are always accessible, just like in Android (and, to some extent, N9).

But having to choose the correct place to start swiping if you want to close an app is a bit finicky, especially in winter when you use the phone in gloves. Especially when the screen is not that big (like in original Jolla Phone or Xperia X Compact that I'm using).

Also one may argue that the layout possible in Sailfish 2, where each edge had its own dedicated function, was much more coherent and logical. Also, for me personally, having the quick settings and atmospheres accessible with not one, but two swipes, was quite alright (since they are available everywhere with long press of the power button anyway — the "gesture" that N9 didn't have).

So please bring back the option to use the whole top-edge swipe for closing the current app. Just like the setting we had in Sailfish 2.

(and while you're at it, please update the kernel for X, everybody laughs at me for having 3.10 in 2018)
