Revision history [back]

Comning from N9, I really miss swiping between running Apps and app launcher. Personally the ambiance switching is not so super important, that it must be accessable by swiping from the running apps screen.

In my oppinion, the UI makes more sense the following way:

[Lock Screen] | v ..-> [Running Apps] -> [App Launcher] ->..

This has several advantages: * The time, signal strength and battery level is always accesed by a swipe left->right or right->left. At the moment, it is accesed by a swipe left->right / right->left only if you are in a running application. If you are on the app launcher, you need to swipe to the lock screen * More than 9 running applications can be deisplayed * Less thinking, what action to fullfil. Everything is just a swipe away

The Ambiance Switcher could be accessed through a pully menu from both running apps and app launcher.
