Sorry, you're right, I misread it for 'cry about'. Stupid me - of course I know the meaning of 'cry for', it was just that my eyes were tired (you can tell from my previous comment where I mixed 'peek' with 'peak'). Oh well.


Not to waste this comment on an off topic discussion - I wonder if this change (peeking -> status bar) is just an intermediate step before the system-wide status bar is introduced.

Because I don't really see the point of having an always visible status bar where it currently is - who spends much time on the homescreen anyway?

Sure, there were/are people who demanded some kind of persistent status bar from day one, but I doubt they meant 'status bar on the homescreen', instead of 'status bar in all apps'.

I always felt that the answer from Jolla in Sailfish UI 1.0 was "yes, there's no small status bar, but instead there is a large status area just one tiny gesture away". I think the large size was needed too - with the classical persistent status bar, you always know where to look, but with peeking, there's this short moment where you need to adjust to the animation and change of background, so the size of the clock & icons in Sialfish UI 1.0 was a necessity for a comfortable experience.

Now the size is small and it's not one tiny gesture away, so the compensation for not having a global status bar is gone. Is an introduction of a standard status bar the next logical step for SailfishOS with the demise of peeking?
