If android widgets cannot be used, then at least a solution to increase the interactivity with future native Sailfish apps might be helpfull. The tiles in the multitasking screen is a good solution but limited to the size of the rectangles/tiles. Also, some apps dont need much interaction when running in background and their tile might be taking precious space on the limited multitasking screen from others. Perhaps the size of the tile could be changed for each app by the user for apps which are likely to be used mostly in background but provides frequent updates and/or interactivity. In that case, horizontal scrolling/swipe in the multitasking screen would be more convenient to accomodate more tiles? I guess this has been discussed before, so I leave it there.
